Kerry fails to back up foreign 'endorsements'

Sen. John Kerry refuses to provide any information to support his assertion earlier this week that he has met with foreign leaders who beseeched him to prevail over President Bush in November's election.

The Massachusetts Democrat has made no official foreign trips since the start of last year, according to Senate records and his own published schedules. And an extensive review of Mr. Kerry's travel schedule domestically revealed only one opportunity for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee to meet with foreign leaders here.

"His counsels are kept private."

Tell that to Vice-President Dick Cheney. Unless, it ONLY applies to Democrats.

I can't believe the title of this article isn't "European Leaders Refute Kerry".

Priority one for any newspaper like the NYT and Wash. Post would be to contact all the European leaders and ask them like the Wash. Times did. Of course, the WT is an actual newspaper not a house organ for the Democrats. Lies told by Democrat candidates are a low priority but trashing GW for his ads is orbital.

"In terms of who he's talked to, we're not going to discuss that," spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said yesterday. "I know it would be helpful, but we're not going into that. His counsels are kept private."

Mr. Kerry has made other claims during the campaign and then refused to back them up, including statements that Mr. Bush delayed the deal with Libya to give up its weapons of mass destruction program for political reasons

Oh My .. now it looks like Kerry is morphing into Wesley Clark

With all these personalities that Kerry keeps morphing into .. it's no wonder he can't keep his stories straight

Al Gore has nothing on John Kerry. John Kerry invented other countries - try and top that!

Aides and supporters of Mr. Kerry have said providing names of the leaders or their countries would injure those nations' ongoing relations with the current Bush administration.
====================================================

There are two possibilities:

1. This is a true statement, and Kerry is harming relations with the Bush Administration while we are at war.

2. This is a false statement, and Kerry is harming relations with the Bush Administration while we are at war.

Either way, this traitorous dipwad is harming our nation while we are at war.

The poll of 800 registered voters, taken in February, showed 60 percent thought terrorists would be happier with Mr. Kerry, while just 25 percent said the terrorists would prefer Mr. Bush.

Seems Chrissy Mathews missed this poll

Hmmmm .. should we email it to him?

This is all a mistake; the foreign endorsements came from Americans.

Occasionally John Kerry forgets what country he's from.

Right takes on one of the more endearing traits of Wes Clark. I guess he heard about these endorsements at Georgetown parties?

"I've met with foreign leaders who can't go out and say this publicly," he said. "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."

Oh, well of course they need "a new policy"...tyrants and dictators are never happy when freedom prevails anywhere. It might get their own people to thinking...

I always thought it was a felony for a private citizen to meet with foreign leaders to discuss or negotiate the foreign policy of the United States.

If Kerry has been having secret meetings with foreign leaders in an attempt to obtain foreign support for his candidacy (in exahnge for...?) then I think that he may have committed a felony.

Is anyone familiar with the US Code that would prevent Americans from negotiating with foreign leaders regarding American Foreign policy without the permission of the executive branch?

"Kerry's imaginary friends-" I love that!!!

Charles Hurt and Stephen Dinan of ---- The Washington Times also scoured White House, State Department and other public records for all official trips made to the United States by foreign leaders since the start of last year. That was good reporting!!!

Pressed about the lack of evidence for any such meetings, Ms. Cutter said world leaders are weary of Mr. Bush's "go-it-alone" handling of the war in Iraq. I just wish they had gone all the way and listed the countries that are with us!!!!

Then there is this---- Then earlier this month, Mr. Kerry called for an investigation into whether the U.S. overthrew Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, telling NBC's "Today" show a "very close friend in Massachusetts" had talked with people who had made accusations that Mr. Aristide had been kidnapped.

"I don't know the truth of it. I really don't. But I think it needs to be explored, and we need to know the truth of what happened," Mr. Kerry said.

Haven't we heard that statement before, yet, when we question anything the MEDIA (Hillary) says we are TVRWC.

Yet another of Kerry's "Barney Fife" moments while he struts around claiming his superiority.
