With Kerry making the ability to work with allies a central plank of his foreign policy agenda, the revelations of allied deceit could undercut that argument in the minds of voters. Yesterday on the campaign trail, Bush declared: "I'll never hand over America's security decisions to foreign leaders and international bodies that do not have America's interests at heart."
(1) Plank = One of the articles of a political platform?
(2) With Kerry making the ability to work with allies a central plank of his foreign policy agenda,
(For convenience to understand the "clause"
Kerry made "the ability to work with allies" a thing.
The thing is " a central plank of his foreign policy agenda".
