There's a difference there that I can appreciate.

"steel tariffs and "nation-building" to reasons for invading Iraq". That was because of 9/11? It was because the heat was coming down on him and to save his butt he had to change postions. If he didn't those opinion polls would not favor him.
The commision was after 9/11. He didn't want to follow it, but there was an outcry so he reversed himself.
How is that any different than Kerry shifting his view on the war? Obviously the people that vote for him are against it. If they were for it he would be too. Bush would not have shifted his postion if the people that voted for him didn't complain about it.
