I don't know who it is advising Kerry and/or writing his speeches, but I think I've figured out his campaign strategy: criticize anything that Bush does or says. Doesn't matter if W says "the sky is blue". Kerry will say it's yellow, and that's thanks to Bush environmental policy. Bush says "2 + 2 = 4", and Kerry will respond with "it's 5 in many schools thanks to Bush's education disasters." You get the idea.

Trouble is, you get to this foreign policy stuff in particular - which the President is doing notably well at -- and you get what we see above. Kerry is all over the place, and making no sense to anybody paying attention.

Is anyone (outside this forum) paying attention?

That's because he's playing to his kook base. If he suddenly made sense, his base would suddenly fracture and crumble in an instant. His base sustains itself on illogic, nuanced platitudes, and only interested in speeches about "anybody but Bush", and John Kerry is "anybody but Bush".
