February 2007: "Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join the overwhelming majority of the American people, the Congress, and many top U.S. military commanders to voice my opposition to President Bush's ill conceived plan to send more American troops into the middle of an ongoing civil war in Iraq.
May 2008: "We've taken public positions which have now forced the President to go into the surge mentality which is somewhat working"
Not to mention between this time, in August of 2007, Kanjorski noted that Democrats stretched the facts when they implied they could end the war.
So essentially Kanjorski went on the record opposing the surge and the war ("He has supported legislation to require the redeployment of U.S. forces from Iraq and voted to override the President’s veto on one of these measures"), admitted in a town hall meeting that it was all a political endgame, and then credited the Democrats with forcing the President's hand into the surge which he contends has had success.
It's like one big contradiction.
