John Kerry: "I've met foreign leaders who can't go out and say this publicly, but boy, they look at you and say, 'You've got to win this, you've got to beat this guy, we need a new policy, things like that.' "

Now comes Tony Blankley's excellent op-ed in the Washington Times:

...my first question is whether Mr. Kerry is telling the truth. When, exactly, did he meet with these foreign leaders? Note that he doesn't merely say he talked with them (by telephone). He claims that he "met" them and "they looked at" him while they were saying these things.

Sen. Kerry has been on public view almost every day since he started running for president last year (except for the period of his hospitalization, when he obviously could not have been traveling around the world). I don't recall seeing him on European, Middle East or other foreign travel during that period. (His campaign office wouldn't respond to my inquiry for a record of his foreign travel in the last year.) Nor do I recall seeing or reading about foreign heads of state meeting with Mr. Kerry when they visited Washington during the last many months.

In the absence of any public evidence that he has met with several foreign leaders recently, the burden of proof should be on Mr. Kerry to prove that he didn't just make up this little story that he told a small group of Florida contributors with one telltale reporter present. George W. Bush was pressured to provide his dental records to prove he had attended the Alabama National Guard in 1973. (He provided them, and he did attend.) It only seems fair to pressure Mr. Kerry to provide his passport or other documents for 2003 to prove he really met with these "foreign leaders," either here or abroad.

Do you think Tony's holding his breath?
