Oliphant's has always been one of the more decent columnist in the Globe- Once again, even if this column is not about Kerry, he notices the difference between Kerry and Bush - Who behaves like the real president?
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2005/11/01/the_coverup_worked/As one of the victims of this farce, Kerry has carried himself with dignity. Not enough people noticed, but he made an important speech here last week about the ongoing war in Iraq, offering a plan to gradually withdraw US troops over the next 15 months as Iraqis shoulder the burden of their own security. The timetable is responsive to a request by a third of the country's Parliament.
By contrast, President Bush was back before a handpicked audience in Virginia last week, insisting that Americans are at war in Iraq so they won't have to battle terrorists in this country.
Kerry was merely offering ideas responsibly in the public square. Can anyone seriously claim that Bush is doing that and that he could have survived the surfacing of the truth a year ago?
