Holding two positions in itself is never hypocritical; the hypocrisy arises from the reasons why you hold the two positions. If a person opposes the Iraq war because he doesn't think the US should be the world's policeman but then supports invading Darfur to stop the genocide, then yes, it would be hypocritical. If a person opposes the Iraq war because he thinks that that particular war is a mess that the US should remove itself from, and if that person did not think that a similar situation would arise if the US went into Darfur, then no, it would not be hypocritical.
