The only reason I started talking about this is that club accused Kerry of "flip-flopping" again, which is bogus. I agree that Kerry's position makes for poor politics.

The article says "until the final days before the war." Since it doesn't include any watershed events when the tanks ran over the first fence, I took that to mean right up to the war. You read it as implying some change of heart the day before?
Those are the plain words, and they are confirmed by other things I have read and linked to here, such as the review of his book in the NYRB.
