The WashPost slams Kerry on Iraq

Everybody’s talking about this WashPost editorial that concludes: “We believe a successful political outcome is still possible; others disagree. But Mr. Kerry's shift on such a basic question after just a few months is troubling and mistaken.”

I prefer to highlight the sentences that seem to appear in every article about Senator Splunge. To wit:

“Contrast that with what Mr. Kerry told reporters last week”
“Mr. Kerry contends that he has not shifted his public position.”
“But there are major differences between what he said [then and now]”
“Mr. Kerry now argues that there is a third option. But what would that be?”
