Maybe this:
Sen. John Kerry has been accusing President Bush of allowing Osama bin Laden to escape during the Tora Bora battle. But on Larry King Live on Dec. 14, 2001, near the end of the battle, responding to a question about why we weren't getting in the caves and using napalm or flamethrowers, he appears to endorse a play-it-safe approach:
But for the moment, what we are doing, I think, is having its impact and it is the best way to protect our troops and sort of minimalize the proximity, if you will. I think we have been doing this pretty effectively and we should continue to do it that way.
And later: I think we have been smart. I think the administration leadership has done it well and we are on the right track.

this doesn't sound like much more than just another flip-flop.
