Kerry's phantom meeting
Washington Times ^ | Oct 26, 2004 | editorial

Posted on 10/26/2004 2:37:42 AM PDT by The Raven

John Kerry has called truthfulness "the fundamental test of leadership." He told National Guard veterans last month, "As president, I will always be straight with you — on the good days and the bad days." He has repeatedly said President Bush fails the test, especially when it comes to foreign policy. All the richer, then, is yesterday's revelation that, for political purposes, Mr. Kerry fabricated a meeting with the "entire" U.N. Security Council in October 2002 just before the United Nations voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq.

As Joel Mowbray reported in the Washington Times yesterday, of the 15 ambassadors who sat on the council in 2002, four say they have never even met Mr. Kerry. Neither has their staff. Mr. Kerry met individually with the French, Singaporean and Cameroon delegates, Mr. Mowbray confirmed. But no all-encompassing meeting with Security Council members ever took place the way Mr. Kerry said it did. For more than a year, the phantom meeting had been a useful cudgel for Mr. Kerry's attacks on the president.

Kerry wouldn't know the truth if it hit him square in the face. Of course he'll tell you truth is a four letter word.

The editorial certainly pulls no punches. Kerry seems to have a real fondness for phantom meetings. Some didn't exist and he says they did; others existed and he strenuously denies them.

Phantom meetings, yeah that's for sure.
And then he threw those phantom medals over the White House fence too. Or was it just the ribbons? But were they his own medals?

"No, Charlie, you didn't see me throw my medals over the fence"
"But I was there, I saw you throw your medals over the fence"
The phantom's answer?
They were somebody else's medals? or just the ribbons, not the medals?
What???,

"Yeah that's the ticket" says Mr. sKerry

What he is, is the phantom liar.

So he didn't meet with security council, he wasn't @ game 6 , he wasn't in Cambodia, he only visited with the enemy because he bumped into them on his "honeymoon". How is this guy still in this race? 3 letters-MSM!!

From another Freeper...

THE BIG QUESTION: "Senator Kerry, when you say you defended this country as a young man and you will defend it as commander in chief, does that mean that, if elected, you will defend it for four months and then attack it for the next thirty years?"

Sen. Kerry is also telling two different tales on his meetings in Paris with the North Vietnamese communists.  In one thread it says, ...Kerry insists he attended the talks only because he happened to be in France on his honeymoon...

Then it's noted that, "Kerry married the former Julia Thorne, a Philadelphia heiress, in 1970 in Bay Shore, N.Y. They honeymooned in Jamaica" in this thread.

He spent 4 months in Nam, then came back home and has been trashing the US ever since.

I think it was the 1985 WS, he said he was at the famous game 6 (I was only 5, so I don't know the details) when it has been proven he wasn't. It was posted here several times yesterday.

Just wondering if anyone has seen a list of Jean-Fraudes' "Top Ten Lies" -- might be a nifty way to remind voters of his 'truth record.'

Great idea!..the fact that some of the lies are about insignificant things speaks volumes about his character/self esteem flaws

He dreamed that. He really thinks he is telling the truth. He is delusional. The man is unstable! He is a schizoid!
