According to the Associated Press, Iraq is a tricky issue for Democrats hoping to mount a presidential campaign in 2008.
The issue is so tricky that when the Senate recently considered a resolution US Senate stating that Iraqis should start taking the lead in their own security next year to allow a phased withdrawal of US troops, Massachusetts’ Democratic Senator and presidential wannabe John Kerry continued his consistent inconsistency on Iraq:
Kerry, last year's Democratic presidential candidate who is said to be considering another run, first voted for the GOP resolution. He then left the chamber and was seen just steps off the Senate floor talking briefly to his senior home state colleague, Sen. Edward Kennedy (news, bio, voting record), D-Mass. Kerry walked back into the chamber and changed his vote.
That's right, Kerry was for the resolution before he was against it. Like Kerry said during the 2004 presidential campaign, he's been "consistent all along."
