Battle Plan: Kerry was to spend the fall on the economy. Then came a
new team of advisers—and a fresh focus for the homestretch

Sept. 27 issue - Sitting in his black-leather swivel chair, with his
trusty world atlas beside him, John Kerry huddled with his aides in
the executive-style cabin at the front of his campaign jet. Kerry was
preparing to accuse the president of failing to tell the truth about
"the mess in Iraq"—part of an aggressive fall strategy to challenge
George W. Bush on the war. But before he spoke to the National Guard
convention in Las Vegas, Kerry sought the advice of yet another
sounding board on his plane: former four-star general Wes Clark. Kerry
knew from Vietnam what it felt like to face the bullets without the
support of the folks back home. So how, one of his senior staff wanted
to know, would Kerry's attacks go down now with the troops in Iraq?
"Look, the soldiers are debating it themselves on the ground," Clark
reassured Kerry's inner circle. "They're coming back and they're
incredibly critical. You have to call it like it is."
