Here’s what Kerry saPOSTID:
KERRY (8/9/04): Yes, I would have voted for the authority. I believe it was the right authority for a president to have, but I would have used that authority, as I have said throughout this campaign, effectively. I would have done this very differently from the way President Bush has.
Shorter version:
KERRY’S POSITION: I voted to give President Bush the authority. Then President Bush f*cked it up.
