I bet you thought I'd write about that speech

I wrote about it the last four-five times he gave it. I think that's enough.

Candidates' Iraq policies moot if issue is getting US out
By Dante Chinni

…They do say that Senator Kerry plans to "internationalize" the conflict, involve allies or the UN to help stabilize the situation in Iraq. That approach is winning a lot of supporters, they say, including President Bush, who has moved toward Kerry's position.

Not so, say the Bushies. The president is not moving toward Kerry. In fact, they think Kerry is moving toward Mr. Bush.

And there you have it, America - a campaign that rests on the burning question of who is copying whose position, with, one can only assume by the rhetoric, a final resting place that has both candidates agreeing in principle to the same course in Iraq. That course? Get our troops out and other troops in.

Get ready for debates with cerebral exchanges like this.

Bush: I propose getting our allies more involved in Iraq as soon as possible.

Kerry: I proposed that first.

Bush: No you didn't.

Kerry: Yes, I did.

At this point one or both will put their fingers in their ears and yell, "I'm not listening!" and you'll promptly tune to a "Hee Haw" rerun.

Not necessarily. Bush is demanding a free bailout from our allies. Kerry is acknowledging that we may have to concede control to foreign powers. The difference is going to be even more palpable after 30 June.

Kerry's making an observation there, not a plan. We are beyond the point where any plan we can make will provide an outcome we're happy with, IMO, so that doesn't bother me.

And yes, the differences in their visions will become more pronounced this summer.
