Couldn't he have said this...oh I don't know...last year maybe??

Actually, I think he did (the red states must have been in the pisser). But, in this Op-Ed piece, John Edwards lays out a clearly stated and straight forward explanation for his vote to authorize the use of force in Iraq 2 years ago. He also tells us why it's important to change course and finish the job right. Something tells me that won't happen under the current administration.
