2004 (September) – “Let me be as blunt and direct with the American people as I can be. The invasion of Iraq was a profound diversion from the battle against our greatest enemy – al Qaeda…. The president’s misjudgment, miscalculation and mismanagement of the war in Iraq all made the war on terror harder to win.”
Are these the comments of a candidate for president who says he was prescient, ahead of the curve about the difficulties, 100 percent correct, or are these the comments of an opportunist who will do and say anything to sway public opinion?
