In this first quote Kerry is basically saying he's not a flip flopper, and he has always believed and still believes Saddam was a threat.
In the second quote Kerry is speaking about the threat posed by Iran. Saying basically Iran's threat has grown while Bush was preoccupied with Iraq, where there was no threat.
He can't even keep his contradictory positions straight in one debate. What a joke. I hope the press realize this and call him on it. I can't be the only person in the world that caught that.

KERRY: Well, let me tell you straight up: I've never changed my mind about Iraq. I do believe Saddam Hussein was a threat. I always believed he was a threat. Believed it in 1998 when Clinton was president. I wanted to give Clinton the power to use force if necessary.

[B]KERRY: I don't think you can just rely on U.N. sanctions, Randee. But you're absolutely correct, it is a threat, it's a huge threat.
And what's interesting is, it's a threat that has grown while the president has been preoccupied with Iraq, where there wasn't a threat.B]
