The Policy Of Victory

Funny.  "I was FOR the surge before I was AGAINST the surge".

Who do you think would say something like that?  Ok, not verbatim.   But he, along with his cohorts in the Democrat party may well have just said that:

For many in the Senate, they were for a surge of troops in Iraq before they were against it.
 
"We don’t have enough troops in Iraq," Sen. John Kerry, Massachusetts Democrat, said in 2005.

In 2004, he told NBC’s Tim Russert some things he believes "very deeply."

"Number one, we cannot fail," Mr. Kerry said. "I’ve said that many times. And if it requires more troops in order to create the stability that eliminates the chaos, that can provide the groundwork for other countries, that’s what we have to do."

He no longer believes that now. He is among at least a dozen Democratic senators who in the past have called for more troops in Iraq but now support a resolution condemning President Bush’s plan to do just that. Many Republicans who voted for the war now plan to support a no-confidence resolution, including Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, who in the past had warned that the war would be a long, tough slog and that Americans should "speak with one voice."
