If Voters Want John Kerry, They'll Vote For John Kerry

I think that President Bush would be far better off if he simply explained that the French and the United Nations cannot be counted upon to act in America's best interest.

Instead, Bush is trying to emulate the foreign policy that John Kerry says we would have if he were president.

For days, President Bush has been performing on the world stage - and trying to meet, one by one, the criticisms of Democratic rival John Kerry. Bush's recent moves and concessions may be an attempt to buy insurance against some of the sharpest Democratic criticism he can expect in the fall.

His political advisers also want to protect the GOP's traditional lead over Democrats on national security issues.

Bad move.
