Kerry's Nixonian "Secret Plan"

Richard Nixon had a "secret plan" to end the Vietnam War. Liberals have derided the phrase ever since. But now, it's their man who has the secret plan.

[F]or John Kerry, the struggle to talk about Iraq seems as hard as the administration’s struggle to find an exit strategy. He hedges and he dodges; he issues caveats and subordinate clauses. Kerry’s underlying suggestion is that he thinks he can turn the war around. But he finds it unusually difficult to say so in simple terms, without offering ammunition to his rivals.
