the problem is that democrats are all running around like their heads have been cut off. on one hand, you have the committee chair claiming the war in unwinnable, a veterna senator calling for immediate withdrawal of troops with the minority leader backing him up. now there's everyone else in the middle trying to come up with the statements that won't piss off their constituency and jeopardize re-election. Kerry, who has always gauged which was the wind was blowing, tried to follow the popular democratic consensus, or at least what his speech writers thought was the popular democratic consensus. not to worry though, by friday he'll do a press conference and say the opposite of what he said here. what can he say? he's a politician.
