Powerlineblog.org: We Just Got A Tip (Breaking Story on Kerry?)

Powerline ^ | 10/23/04

[freespirited]

We just got a tip......that a major newspaper will break a front-page story Monday morning that could create a serious problem for the Kerry campaign. We don't yet have any details, but it relates to a foreign policy issue, and it will call into question--amazingly enough--John Kerry's truthfulness.

We'll watch for the story Sunday night and post it as soon as it becomes available.

"The Washington Times conducted interviews with embassies of countries opposing the war in Iraq and concluded that there had been no meetings between Mr. Kerry and foreign heads of state since the beginning of 2003. After a review of Mr. Kerry's schedule, it was shown he had no opportunities for personal meetings with foreign heads of state, save one on September 24 when the New Zealand Foreign Minister was in Washington. Several foreign leaders including Germany's Schroeder and the Australian Foreign Minister deny any contact with Kerry."

My guess is Miss Terezzza has a company implciated in the UN Terror For Food con game.

I would not hold my breath on that one. We need to have more republicans in the senate to void that nomination. There are wayyyyyyyy to many liberal republicans in the senate that just might vote yes...

[RightWingBev]

yes i heard it too

[Murph]

Philosophical question for the forum: when is a tip not a tip?

When there's no iceberg hanging on it..?

"We need a juicey article about Kerry two or three days before the election like the GW DUI stunt the Dems pulled on us in 2000."

Actually, I'd rather win the way Reagan did in 1984 - stay positive and watch the other guy implode...

Then the Dems cant spend the next 10 years whining about a 'dirty trick' election ('how dare they reveal his senate record 5 days before the election?')

Actually didn't have time to read all the posts but wonder if the tip is from another link reporting that Kerry is being funded by Albanian terrorists. Who knows if that would change what anyone would think of him; although Clinton saw a 17-point advantage in a poll a week before the '96 election fall to a 9-point victory after the press slowly began to wake up to the Chinese connection in his fundraising. The MSM didn't really run with the story then and I doubt they would now either.

That's exactly what it's going to be, related to the
"Oil for Food". Good Call..........................

Do you have an idea the Kerry camp is very busy tonite -

Once a traitor?

[funeralcom]

I like this one... Good thought....

[onyx eyes]

I'm going out on a limb and say that it involves South Korea and North Korea.
"South Korea has been frustrated over the deadlock in talks on North Korea's nuclear activities, while at the same time facing the Bush administration's planned withdrawal of thousands of U.S. troops from the tense region. One expert said Chung's actions were consistent with Seoul's concerns with the Bush Administration...."

"I hate when unsubstantiated stuff like this comes up. Most times its just crap. If it was REALLY a big news item--SOMEONE would have put it out immediately. It just raises expectations (like the STOLEN HOUR thing,,,,like Slick's impeachment testimony,,,like the repeated 'October surprises')--and if those high expectations are not met, the story becomes a non-story--ending up being a net minus."

I agree

My bet is Kerry double dealing with Syria.

Former State Department official finds President Assad will to cooperate on Iraq

Martin Indyk, assistant secretary of state for the Near East and U.S. ambassador to Israel during the Clinton administration. In a three-hour meeting with the Syrian president last month in Damascus, Indyk said he detected a "clear change" in Assad's views on a number of fronts.

The go-between?

Information on this is presumptuous without any detail. I would like to believe it is so but I am weary of false leads and jumping the gun. With so much they could have already ran in this campaign it would have to be major and unable to be swept under the rug by the MSM and if it is about Kerry it will be defensive and outraged at the accusation, then I will know there is something to it. Remember the Swiftvets, they were not talked about until they had too and even then it was an attack on them without the ability to refute what the Swiftvets were saying and they still haven't. All they did was stop talking about them.

I think it is a flip flop/pandering by Kerry (not Tora Bora) that hasn't been mentioned at all by Bush/Cheney yet. It will definitely show that he will say anything to win votes.

[processing please hold]

Yep

[eddiebear]

I didn't have the time to read all 800+ posts on this thread, so pardon me if I do a bit of repeating. You have to know that Kerry's Krewe is working on the Rapid Response for whatever is out there. Also, if the WasTimes does brek it, you know the MSM and DUmmies will blast it as not a "real paper", etc.

I've got it!!!!!!!!!! Kerry is going to have to explain why he personally took money from Saddam Hussein..... There will be a link b/t the two.....
