John Kerry is constantly talking about how he has a plan for Iraq and how he would have done everything differently from the President. Odd, then, that he is refusing to answer these questions from Bob Woodward. I’m only being a little sarcastic. I really do find it odd. Many of these questions are 20/20 hindsight questions that Kerry should be able to hit out of the park. Others ask for Kerry’s opinions on various Bush policies—again, something Kerry should be eager to blast away at.
It’s true that some of the questions would require Kerry to be specific and actually take a stand. For example, one question asks, “What are the acceptable conditions for preemptive war?” Still, these questions were submitted in writing, presumably giving Team Kerry ample time to frame his answers and avoid using terms like “nuisance” and “global test.” It’s just hard to fathom why Kerry would pass on a chance to trash Bush’s past actions with hyper-calculated answers.

Update: I forgot to add that Kerry's advisors assured Woodward that if Kerry had decided to answer the questions, those answers would have been both "strong" and "compelling."
Really.
