Kerry-Go-Round

Jim Geraghty’s take on John Kerry’s concussion-inducing Iraq oscillations:

Kerry, Monday: "It's the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Kerry, yesterday: "More than 1,000 of America's sons and daughters have now given their lives on behalf of their country, on behalf of freedom in the war on terror."

Kerry Spokesman David Wade, today: "Kerry was referring to U.S. soldiers fighting in parts of Iraq that have now become a breeding ground for terrorists."

Oh, okay. All 1,000+ died ‘fighting in parts of Iraq that have now become a breeding ground for terrorists,’ but other than that, it's the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time. That clears up everything.

Is this man a couple olives short of a martini, or is that just the impression he’s trying to create? If the latter, I wish he’d just do the “Dean scream” and be done with it.
