Kerry to Spotlight Foreign Policy Differences

SEATTLE, May 26 -- The competing foreign policy agendas of President Bush and Sen. John F. Kerry (Mass.) will take center stage in the presidential campaign over the next two weeks, as Bush prepares for a June 30 transfer of power in Iraq and his Democratic challenger delivers a series of speeches designed to show that he has an alternative vision for dealing with terrorist threats around the world.

Over the next two weeks, Americans will mark the opening of the World War II Memorial in Washington, celebrate Memorial Day and commemorate the 60th anniversary of D-Day. Those events will provide the backdrop for what Kerry advisers see as his best opportunity to sketch out a competing course with the president. He will devote the next 11 days to national security issues.

But on the central question of the day, the future of Iraq, Kerry may have less to say than some voters expect. Aides said that none of Kerry's speeches, the first of which he will deliver Thursday here in Seattle, will deal directly with Iraq. Instead, he will seek to provide a broader vision of how he sees the U.S. role in the world and reassure voters that he can step into the role of commander-in-chief during a period of war.
