Unrest delays final accord, troop return

Unrest in Iraq and allied demands that Iraq comply with U.N. resolutions may delay signing a final cease-fire by several weeks, Western diplomats said Wednesday. That would mean U.S. and French troops may remain in southern Iraq for months; Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf has said the coalition won't pull out until a definitive cease-fire is signed.

Let's face it. Kerry would not have gone to Safwan on a vacation or holiday. He had to go with a congressional delegation in other words with one or more congressmen. So who were the other congressmen? I have googled and can't find anything.

I found a link that would back up the 3/3/91 signing date but it made the page whack out. Here it is, broken up to fit.

We're starting to mix up apples with oranges here folks. Kerry said he was at the Safwan ceasefire signing. That has been established to have occured on 3 March 91. Kerry was actually attending the Brazil Night party in Boston [?] the evening of 2 March and would not of had time to get to Iraq in time for the signing.

You have to remember that it was a war zone with no commercial airlines flying into country. So he would of had to fly into Kuwait and then hoof it from there. Impossible, there aren't enough hours in a day.
