It Was Actually A Meeting of The Secret-CIA-Hat Club
Allen October 25th, 2004
So the secret Kerry-Kandidacy-Killer is out and it turns out to be the senator pumping up his street cred once again.
U.N. ambassadors from several nations are disputing assertions by Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry that he met for hours with all members of the U.N. Security Council just a week before voting in October 2002 to authorize the use of force in Iraq.
An investigation by The Washington Times reveals that while the candidate did talk for an unspecified period to at least a few members of the panel, no such meeting, as described by Mr. Kerry on a number of occasions over the past year, ever occurred.
Kerry’s response from his campaign staff:
When reached for comment last week, an official with the Kerry campaign stood by the candidate’s previous claims that he had met with the entire Security Council.
But after being told late yesterday of the results of The Times investigation, the Kerry campaign issued a statement that read in part, “It was a closed meeting and a private discussion.”
A Kerry aide refused to identify who participated in the meeting.
The Kerry aide then smiled and aimed his finger: “Pow.”
8 more days, 8 more days, 8 more days….
Ah, who am I kidding. The lawsuits should keep this election going until mid-December.
(*sigh*)
