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.''

The Fraud/Fool/Traitor and the liberal MSM that reports this trash needs a rude awakening to the fact that no one cares what kerry says, unless of course he is undermining our President, military and troops, then I would say 'that' is newsworthy and needs immediate Legal attention!

Bring back the Committee for un-american activities.

I live in the President's home state, so you can blame me for living in a place where my vote is wasted.

"You're so right his being AWOL was predictable. I'll bet no one here really thought sKerry was going to go and actually WORK for his paycheck (for a change). /sarc"
