…is that Joe Lieberman made him do it! From the Globe:

“Still, the candidates continued their slugging. Kerry yesterday launched a new attack against Gephardt and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut over their support for the 2002 resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq. Kerry accused the two of siding with President Bush on the resolution, ultimately approved by Congress, instead of an earlier one that would have limited Bush’s ability to go to war quickly.

“When Joe Lieberman and Dick Gephardt wound up down at the Rose Garden with the president signing off on some deal, they pulled the rug out from the rest of us in the United States Senate who were fighting for a different resolution,” Kerry told voters in Guttenberg, Iowa. Kerry ended up voting for the resolution that passed.”
