France points out that kerry has now flipped again. What a tool. Zarkawi cheers kerry's "nuance".
I think kerry may actually flip-flop two or three times in this same interview. One - no more troops, Two - "there's no way" he would have gone to war knowing what he does now... Three - didn't get to the rest of it.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites), who has warned of deepening chaos in Iraq (news - web sites), said he would not send additional US troops even if turmoil persists into next year.
In an interview with National Public Radio, Kerry reiterated "there's no way" he would have gone to war knowing Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) posed no imminent threat with weapons of mass destruction and had no ties to Al-Qaeda terrorists.
Kerry said the United States could not cut-and-run after the March 2003 invasion. "Not having a failed state in Iraq, it seems to me, is important to our country's security," he said.
But he virtually closed the door on sending additional US troops to Iraq if he has no success in his plan to replace some of the 140,000 US personnel with soldiers from other countries and Iraqi security forces.
"I do not intend to increase troops," said the Massachusetts senator, running in the November 2 election to unseat President George W. Bush (news - web sites).
"I intend to get the process in place that I described and I believe as a new president, with new credibility, with a fresh start, that I have the ability to be able to change the dynamics on the ground."
