Reply #80: I think the minitiae is important in Kerry's plan -

what I think is less important is the idea that everyone will agree. To get consensus, you often have to get so vague that the result has no substance. The danger then is that it becomes hard to distinquish between it and what Bush says he is doing, but it will at least be clearly different from what he is really doing. I do not mean to diminish the effort and skill needed to get a consensus plan.

Kerry's plan is in keeping with his promise to speak out when he felt there was no chance of helping. This is a personal promise, he meant it when he said it, and he has honored it.
