It's much easier to accuse him of a flip-flop if you're going to start making shit up.
Kerry's position, as I understand it:
- I voted to authorize force because of WMD.
- Had I known there were no WMD, I still would have voted the same way, to keep the pressure on Hussein, etc.
- Armed with this authority, and based on what we know, the President made a mistaken in going to war, because there were no WMD.
