Kerry's admission that he would've supported the resolution to invade Iraq, even knowing that weapons of mass destruction wouldn't be found, has effectively doomed the Senator's presidential bid. Now Bush is using that admission on the campaign trail to attack Kerry's weakest point: his failure to distinguish his Iraq policy from Bush's.

Kerry says he would've done things "very differently" by bringing in foreign partners to shoulder the burden of the Iraq War. Such rationale is an insult to our 30+ allies in Iraq, the kind of insult to foreign powers that Kerry says Bush is guilty of. President Bush has now cornered the issue entirely by clearly showing there is little difference between his policy and Kerry's. Now, people who believe the latest Iraq mission was a mistake really have only one choice, that of Ralph Nader. There aren't many people who think that's a realistic choice at all.
