John Kerry will be in Cincinnati tomorrow morning, to give a major policy speech on Iraq, at the exact site where Bush made his now-famous "Cincinnati Speech" to justify the proposed war in Iraq in October, 2002. I happen to think this is a huge step that Kerry is taking, and I think tomorrow's speech will be big, big news, especially when the comparisons are drawn.

Excerpt from the article:

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry will criticize President Bush's "wrong choices in Iraq" as part of a major policy speech in Cincinnati Wednesday morning, Kerry campaign and party sources said.

He is expected to deliver his remarks in the rotunda at the Museum Center at Union Terminal, where President Bush outlined the case for war in Iraq in October 2002.

A statement from the Kerry campaign Monday said the Massachusetts senator "will talk about how the president's wrong choice to go it alone in Iraq has taken the country in the wrong direction and shortchanged priorities here at home."

Kerry will outline a plan to "make our country stronger at home and respected in the world," the campaign said.
