It's this comment I think in IMHO.......made during the Larry King Live program during or right after the battle at Tora Bora.

KING: We are going to talk about war at the end of this week. We are learning a lot more about it. We seem to, every few years or so, get into one. We are in another one now on two fronts.

So we welcome three heroes. Senator John Kerry is with us here in Los Angeles. He is the Senate Foreign Relations committee member, highly decorated Vietnam war hero, three Purple Hearts, the Silver Star and the Bronze Star. In Washington, Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, former Navy ace -- saw the movie "Top Gun", Tom Cruise may have played him -- highly decorated Vietnam veteran, Purple Heart, the Navy Cross, two Silver Stars and numerous other decorations. And also in Washington, General George Joulwan, United States Army retired, Vietnam veteran himself, and a former NATO supreme commander. Before we talk about their experiences, and a little bit about what war is like, Senator Kerry -- and this is for all of you, how goes it so far in Afghanistan, in your opinion?

SEN. JOHN KERRY (D-MA), FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE: I think our guys are doing a superb job. I think we've had, things break for us, the way, one would want them to, but in addition, I think the people you just heard, they are trained, they are ready. I think we have been smart, I think the administration leadership has done it well and we are on right track.

This is what I think the Washington Times has......this quote is a killer.

I think that if they throw this quote at Kerry he'll just say "that was then, this is now and we still don't have Bin Laden".

Sorry to say but the comment on Larry King only shows that his opinions change with the wind. Contradicting himself is like breathing to him. As they said on SNL, he has finally settled on a position on Iraq: He is Forgainst it.

In other words - nothing new here.

You quoted Kerry's 2001 Tora Bora comments: I think we have been smart, I think the administration leadership has done it well and we are on right track.

I think that you are on the right track.

Charles Krauthammer on Inside Washington tonight (I think that they tape Friday) said that he's seen video of Kerry saying that the U.S. did exactly the right thing by using Afghan help at Tora Bora.

It will be devastating to superimpose that on Kerry's current "Bush let Osama escape by outsourcing at Tora Bora."

Krauthammer seemed to be discussing even more pointed Kerry remarks than those quoted by you. Maybe, Kerry made the more pointed remarks on the Senate floor or some other interview around the same time?
