Well I don't have to use the quotes to determine that. Kerry's vote for the war, and then a vote against it and his following anti-war campaign are sufficient evidence that he reversed his position on the war.

But let's take the quote. He says it is clear that Saddam needs to be disarmed, but only after all methods other than war are exhausted. So, which methods were not exhausted? It's kind of ridiculous to say you should only do something if you've tried everything, try everything, and then still say we shouldn't have done it.

...and that's the point of disagreement. Your side likes to think there were many more options to exercise in order to disarm Saddam. This has been a point of contention since the war began and is a horse that has been beaten to death everywhere, including here.
