Yahoo! News - Kerry Vows Action on Threat of Nuclear Terrorism

This is without a doubt the best line of the article:

But Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt welcomed Kerry's "embrace" of nonproliferation goals already laid out by the president.

More strategy problems as far as I can tell. This early in the campaign, it doesn't make any sense for the Kerry campaign to tip their hand. It seems to me that a much better strategy at this point would be to try and put the current administration on the defensive. Questions of impropriety in the Haliburton contracts in post-war Iraq, Sec of Defense and the Sec of Homeland Security still aren't on the same page, oil and gas at historic high prices... How much more fodder does he need? The bottom line is that between now and Labor Day, no one is really going to make up their mind on who to vote for, and that makes this the opportunity to try and put the president and his staff back on their heels. To continue to try and develop policy issues and answers at this point in the campaign only leaves them the chance to adopt them as their own.
