"Democrat John Kerry accused President Bush on Monday of sending U.S. troops to the 'wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time,' " the Associated Press reports. But yesterday, upon hearing the news that the death toll among U.S. servicemen in Iraq has reached 1,000, Kerry had this to say, the Associated Press reports:

''Today marks a tragic milestone in the war in Iraq; more than 1,000 of America's sons and daughters have now given their lives on behalf of their country, on behalf of freedom, the war on terror."

After flopping yesterday, Kerry flipped again today. The Washington Post reports he "accused the Bush administration of pursuing a 'catastrophic' course in Iraq":

The war, Kerry said, has cost the country "$200 billion and counting" in part because of Bush's failure to enlist the support of a broad array of allies. . . .

"And today even the Pentagon has admitted this very reality," Kerry said, "that entire regions of Iraq are controlled by insurgents and terrorists. I call this course a catastrophic course that has cost us $200 billion because we went it alone, and we've paid an even more unbearable price in young American lives and the risks our soldiers take."

That's "$200 billion that we're not investing in education and health care, job creation here at home; $200 billion for going it alone in Iraq."

Making things even more confusing, as National Review Online's Jim Geraghty notes, Kerry voted against the Gulf War, for which other countries paid most of the tab, and for the liberation of Iraq, for which they didn't.

Maybe John Edwards could file a class-action suit on behalf of all Americans who've suffered whiplash watching Kerry switch from one side to the other and back again.
