Tomorrow’s (today’s?) WashPost: “Engagement is a constant in Kerry’s foreign policy”

Kerry's aides cannot recall whether he ever sketched out a broad foreign policy vision before he sought the presidency. Indeed, many of Kerry's speeches during his Senate years were lengthy and subtle, reflecting an understanding of complex issues but also a tendency to sketch so many shades of gray that the reasoning for his position became opaque.

But, despite his wonkish waffling, surely Kerry wouldn’t compromise American security if it meant alienating foreign governments, right?

Kerry is a frequent visitor to the international conferences in Davos, Switzerland, where he mingles with foreign leaders and chews over the policy problems of the day. "He eats that stuff up," Stetson said.

Uh-oh.
