Skillfully presented ambiguity

Here’s Mark Steyn in “Kerry’s polished, but he can’t make his case”

If John Kerry is so polished and eloquent and forceful and mellifluous, how come nobody has a clue what his policy on Iraq is? As he made clear on Thursday, Saddam was a growing threat so he had to be disarmed so Kerry voted for war in order to authorize Bush to go to the U.N. but Bush failed to pass ''the global test'' so we shouldn't have disarmed Saddam because he wasn't a threat so the war was a mistake so Kerry will bring the troops home by persuading France and Germany to send their troops instead because he's so much better at building alliances so he'll have no trouble talking France and Germany into sending their boys to be the last men to die for Bush's mistake.

Have I got that right?

Oh, and he'll call a summit.

Mark Noonan from Blogs for Bush summarizes: “The post-debate spin is on how wonderful Kerry was in the debate - my view is that after a very, very short burst of "wow!", we'll start to get back to a lot of "huh?" about Kerry.”
