The question is, if you know what we know TODAY, would you still go to war. No WMD, no 9/11 or Al Queda ties, lying Ahmed Chalabi being a spy for Iran, etc etc etc. Bush says yes, which makes no sense to most people. Kerry says no. That's not a flip flop, that's common sense.
I think Kerry is just changing is positions as the polls change. He could have come out and said "No I wouldn't have voted for the war" in the first place. He didn't though. He said he'd have voted for authority to go to war, but have handled it differently.

Anyways, I see your point.
