I'm actually wondering if this is a set-up to get Kerry. The report downplays the link. Kerry hitches his horse to the report. People backtrack on the report and Kerry looks like a fool.

No, it's very effective. Kerry can make various vague statements crafted to fit his record of voting for the war, voting for the ILA, etc. He criticizes the "rush" to war, when there was no rush. And he's not called to the carpet to explain what purpose a delay would make. He knows to speak vaguely about the "reasons" for war, implying WMD, because he's already admitted recently he thinks they exist. And he can play on the UN stuff again and not say the word "France" because Bush just imbued the UN with authority, trading, perhaps, a coverup of Food for Oil, and what did he get in return? No extra nation's troops, Kofi said today the UN wasn't going into Iraq.

Bush got nothing for his UN trade and only is wrapped up in this AQ/Iraq sideshow.

Within a context where Kerry's ideas and assumptions aren't challenged, Kerry scores points.

He doesn't need anyones help to look like a fool, IMHO.

The only problem is will the mainstream media report the 9/11 commission's rebuke to the media for misrepresenting their conclusion about the AQ/SH link?

Possibly, but kerry doesn't need anybody's help to look like a fool. He's doing a bang-up job of it on his own.
