Kerry Holding Mideast Talks with Chirac
AP ^ | 1/14/05 | AP

Posted on 01/15/2005 5:07:08 AM PST by BigKPM

Kerry, who lost the November election to President Bush, is a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and his trip to Paris closes a European and Middle East tour that included trips to Iraq, Syria, Egypt, Israel and the West Bank.

He was set to meet with Chirac just hours after talks in London with British Prime Minister Tony Blair on the prospect of peace in the Middle East.

With the Jan. 30 Iraq elections on the horizon and the election of a new Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, still fresh, Kerry made his tour at a critical time.

He told reporters in London that the impending elections in Iraq were ``one marker'' on the road to democracy, but are not the ultimate goal.

``What is critical is for all of us to focus on what happens immediately after the elections,'' he said.

In a remark sure to please Chirac, who wants to see room for a French role, Kerry added: ``I believe there needs to be a larger political reconciliation, as well as a broader involvement of other countries in decision-making in order to build a greater stability in Iraq.''

All we would need then is for Al Gore and Dean to jump in. Talk about fireworks! We'd be having so much fun watching the Dems it would be hard to focus on the GOP primaries.

The 'smartest woman in the world' will be the candidate.

I want to know who authorized this clown to meet and discuss peace talks with our enemies? Is he doing this on his own or does he have an okay form the State Dept?

The only reason Chiraq (spelling intentional) is meeting with Kerry is that Bush refuses to answer Chiraq's calls. So, the looser is left meeting with the other looser.

Can you imagine that conversation? Two delusional do nothingers in one room blowing enough smoke to begin an new ice age.

Hang your heads in shame!

You remain silent while Hanoi Kerry betrays our troops to our enemies.

So when you wake up in the morning,
and look in the mirror,
before you go to the US Senate,
or to the TV or Radio studios,
know that you did nothing to remove this traitor.

Well REAL Americans know what you did NOT do!

Kerry bashes US policy in meeting w/ leader of foreign group opposed to US
(not ‘71 or ‘85 – Jan 12 05!)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1319451/posts

"Former U.S. presidential candidate Senator John Kerry (D-MA), an election observer,
leaves the office of Mahmoud Abbas, in the West Bank city of Ramallah in this
January 10, 2005 file photo. Middle East countries are frustrated by U.S. policy in
Iraq and feel too little is being done to end violence there, U.S. Senator John Kerry
said on January 12, 2005 on a visit to the region. Kerry repeatedly criticized the
Bush administration's Iraq policy during his failed bid to win the U.S. presidency
from George W. Bush, who led the invasion to topple Saddam Hussein."

Hanoi Kerry is NOT a legitimate US Senator.

Never has been!

The traitor is doing the same thing he has always done.

Aiding the enemy!

Representing himself and Teresa and their monetary interests.

Plus he probably thinks he can run again for President.

He's so delusional.

LOL! I didn't vote for him, ever. Leave me out of that group. I'm also currently a resident of NC.

Pray tell, what state are you from so we may decide how to apportion blame for you! ;^)

Who, exactly, is he representing?

Kerry is representing himself to the future. He is not gone and may run for president again. Four years is forever in politics and a lot can happen between now and then. He is posturing and taking care of perceived weaknesses. Consider his current tour to be a dose of political viagra. Expect the same from Hillary and Dean.
