What was John Kerry doing during 9-11 and the days following?

It's time to compile Kerry's sham of a life after 9-11 into a single concise damning report -- names dates places and quotes from the botox bird himself

Kerry was emulating ET, hiding in Teresa's closet.

Kerry was a cowardly worm, just like in Vietnam (where he faked injuries in order to be sent home).

He was on Larry King Live on 9/11/01

Amazingly enough he actually did some thing useful:

Relief Available to Reservists Called to Duty Kerry legislation offers small businesses affected by absence of owner or key employees to receive assistance from SBA

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Senator John F. Kerry, Chairman of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, today announced that reservists called to duty are able to take advantage of financial relief available through the Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act.

"In 1999, when reservists were called to duty in Kosovo, I wrote and succeeded in passing a law that protects small businesses that lose a key employee to active duty, especially when a small business owner is called to serve," said Senator John Kerry. "I wanted to safeguard future reservists against the losses to their colleagues in the Persian Gulf War who were also small business owners and came home to find their businesses on the brink of bankruptcy, or were forced to layoff employees or go out of business. As a result of the law we passed, you will have access to low-interest disaster loans designed to keep your business afloat, you will be able to defer your SBA loan payments, and you, or the person you leave in charge, will receive counseling and training through the Small Business Administration."

The Veterans Entrepreneurship and Small Business Development Act offers small businessmen and women assistance during times of crisis when reservists are called to report for active military duty. Deferred loan payments and a reduction in interest rates for direct loans - including disaster loans - are authorizations included in the assistance package. The statute also provides for disaster loans to provide interim operating capital, as well as counseling and training programs for employees left to keep the business afloat.

In order to prevent the kind of economic casualties experienced in the wake of Operation Desert Storm, Senator Kerry proposed the reservist relief fund for Reserve Officers deployed to Kosovo in 1999. Small Business owners who qualify for relief assistance are encouraged to call their local Small Business Administration field office or consult the SBA's website, http://www.sba.gov

Kerry was a cowardly worm, just like in Vietnam (where he faked injuries in order to be sent home).

Collected three purple hearts in four months with them, too.

They must have been handing out purple hearts like party favors back in those days.

I believe that he was in a Georgetown Mansion just beginning to have a little chardoney and backed brie with his intern lover when news of the attack came across his 72 inch plazma TV.

Word has it that he put in an immediate call to Chirac to make sure he was alright and then went back to his paramour. Once he was finished with the business at hand he combed his perfectly coiffed hair threw on his smoking jacket and proceded to write the recommendation for his medal of valor for being so close to a war zone.

Now I don't know if this is true but I think it needs to be investigated.

It would be interesting to see, whether he actually voted for some of these things.

Kerry being interviewed by Jim Lehrer, Sept. 24, 2001
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/terrorism/july-dec01/senators_9-24.html

JIM LEHRER: Senator Kerry, following the money issue that the President spoke of today, you spent a lot of time in your committee assignments looking into this in terms of terrorist money. Do you think what the President announced today and what action was taken today is going to do the trick?

SEN. JOHN KERRY: Well, I support what the President did today. It's a first step. But it is not the whole effort by any means whatsoever. I mean, what we really need is to convene the developed country leaders, the G-7, G-8, so-called and begin to come up with a standardized set of rules that we're really going to all adhere to, all enforce, so we create a level of transparency and accountability in international financial transactions that is supposed to be part of the standard but is not.

In fact, what we need to do is extend the authority considerably beyond what the President did today. Law-abiding, legitimate businesses will have nothing to fear. There are ways of protecting the intrusiveness of these systems into any individuals' personal and legitimate wealth. Where you have probable cause and where the international community is in fact trying to harden down on terrorist activity, we need the cooperation of banking systems all around the world.

Right now, particularly in the Middle East, Osama bin Laden benefits from the lack of enforceability, the lack of transparency, the lack of accountability within those banking systems and also the Al Qaeda system that actually operates outside of it, sort of a loose transfer of money and the Islamic charities that fund them.

In addition to that, we have to get tougher. If we're really going to say to legitimate countries, "you are either part of the solution or part of the problem," then those countries have got to be prepared to penetrate the veil of secrecy and to assist us in enforcing these higher standards so that we should use the force of our marketplace, the strongest market in the world, to be meaningful their money must come through New York and elsewhere.

We need the world's financial marketplace and centers to bring the hammer down on those who traffic illegitimately in their banking systems and deny them access literally, get tough and demand accountability and shut the terrorist money off at the source.

Wasn't this around the time that Alex Polier was looking for references?

Did he propose any legislation?

BWAAAAHAHA! Kerry? 2 decades in the Senate and the guy has his name on exactly 3 bills...

What I want to know is what John Kerry was doing on 9-11?

It doesn't matter what JFK was doing or where he was at. It was GWB's watch, and since it was his watch, he must be just as guilty of murdering those people as the terrorists were. He should have been at ground zero that day instead of reading to school kids he probably intended to leave behind anyway. We all know he knew it was coming in advance. Blah, Blah, Blah,,,,,,,,,,

Before showing up at Larry King, John Kerry was at Greenbrier. Here is the evidence:

marlon! I like how you think! LOL!

Here is another statement by Kerry from the same Lehrer interview. But apparently, since then, Kerry changed his mind and now he considers the terrorist threat "exaggerated". Apparently Kerry 2004 is not the same as Kerry in 2001.

JIM LEHRER: The word "sacrifice," Senator Kerry, some people have suggested the only sacrifice we've been asked to do is be a little inconvenienced going on airplanes. Is there sacrifice for most Americans coming and if so what is it?

SEN. JOHN KERRY: I think that the principal thing that America need to understand and perhaps recognize is that there needs to be a higher state of vigilance. But I particularly want to distinguish a higher state of vigilance from any state of fear or even panic. There isn't any cause for either of those. We do not need to live in fear, nor should we. I don't believe the threat is of that nature. I mean during World War II, London suffered terror in the blitz, and there were many people around the globe who suffer terror on a daily basis unlike anything that will possibly touch the United States, in my judgment, than this. Are there risks?

The answer is yes. But, in my judgment, we have the ability to move on these terrorists, in their cells, in their home bases with the cooperation of the world and close in around them in ways that we never have previously. And so, yes, there will probably be another incident of some kind. I don't know what kind. I can almost guarantee you it won't be an aircraft. It will be driven by some pilot as the result of a hijacking. They will look for the next area of weakness, which is what terrorists do.

But we Americans need to focus on the type of war this will be. It's going to be different from anything we've ever been through. It will not be some great television war like the Gulf with a huge military action. There may be some military actions, but I think it is going to be principally one on the covert special operational front and mostly on the intelligence front. That is the single most important weapon for us in this, and every American needs to help contribute to that.

If I recall correctly, he was standing on the steps of the capitol with the rest of the clowns singing.

Here's a copy of a floor speech he gave on September 12th, 2001:

Mr. KERRY. I thank the Chair. I thank my colleague. Madam President, never in the time I have been here_and perhaps in the modern history of the Senate_has any of us come to the floor with such a weight as today, with our hearts literally heavy and aching with the pain of what we have witnessed and what we know so many families are experiencing today, and also with a sense of outrage at the loss of every innocent citizen and every single person who went to work expecting a normal day, every police officer who put themselves into harm's way, every fireman who tried to save a life and lost their own, and at the astonishing number of their loss with the experience of a breach in their special brotherhood and sisterhood that can never be healed, the loss of emergency personnel. These losses are felt by all of us in a very special, personal, and searing way.

It is also fair to say that all of us have a deep feeling of outrage and resentment for the killing of our innocent citizens, for the attack against our country, for the fear and panic we saw in the faces and voices of our people; children crying; parents, wives, brothers, sons, and daughters waiting for word.

Yesterday I was on the phone to the husband and daughter of a woman_a friend_lost in the second flight to penetrate the World Trade Center. The pain and depth of loss in their voices was excruciating. And the helplessness to do anything but to share that pain and offer comfort brought an even deeper sense of anger and resolve for the acts that occurred.

But it is also critical that all of us remember, as we talk about responses, and war against terrorism, that our rhetoric be matched by our actions. If indeed there is a war against terrorism, I remind my colleagues that in a war the first shots are never the last, the first strike is never the worst.

What happened yesterday was terrible and horrendous, but we must prepare ourselves and steel ourselves for the possibility of worse until we achieve our goal. And to do that we have to be more prepared than we are today, and we have to take the fight wherever we need to, and in ways that we are, frankly, not yet prepared.

I will say, from personal experience, when you are in a war, you do not throw money at the enemy; it's bullets or other actions that are real. We cannot guarantee that some fanatic is not going to find a way to upset civilized order. But we can guarantee that anyone facilitating or associated with such an act will pay the highest price.

There are few organizations that could achieve what happened yesterday. We know who they are. We know who supports them. We should demand that those people cooperate with us in turning them over to us.

Finally, it is important for the world to see that we will go back immediately to the business of a great democracy. We must_all of us_be back at the work of our Nation. We must show that our effort to build a better country goes on,the mission of educating our children for full citizenship goes on, the job of making our country stronger goes on.

I believe one of the first things we should commit to as a country, with Federal help, that underscores our Nation's purpose, is to rebuild the towers of the World Trade Center and to show the world that we are not afraid; we are defiant.

To those who might say, "why create another target?" The answer is simple: If we are indeed at war with terrorism, there is no shortage of targets in the United States. There is a White House, and a Capitol, and countless other tall buildings. This is not a question of targets; it is a question of strength and of our national resolve to stand up and show our strength. That is the best monument we could build to those who died yesterday.

In Massachusetts, Madam President, we particularly grieve and feel the full measure of what happened yesterday. Two of those flights came out of our airport. Many of those people on those [*S9300] flights_the vast majority of them_came from our State.

So to all of those who currently await word or those who know because of the nature of the flights, we extend our deepest condolences and we grieve together as citizens of Massachusetts and of this great country.

I thank the Chair.

No, no, he was hiding behind the drunk..........
