Stephen Green and Steven Den Beste both take apart John Kerry’s statements on the Iraq War in this TIME interview. As Green notes, it virtually Fisks itself. I especially love this one:
TIME: So, if we don’t find WMD, the war wasn’t worth the costs? That’s a yes?
KERRY: No, I think you can still—wait, no. You can’t—that’s not a fair question, and I’ll tell you why. You can wind up successful in transforming Iraq and changing the dynamics, and that may make it worth it, but that doesn’t mean [transforming Iraq] was the cause [that provided the] legitimacy to go. You have to have that distinction.
I’m glad we cleared that up.
