Re: Another Kerry Whopper

After further review we throw the yellow flag

In our earlier post we found ourselves underwhelmed by the revelation that John Kerry lied about meeting with the United Nations Security Council back in 2002 before the run-up to the Iraq War. So Kerry fibs, we thought. Nothing new here.

Well, we were wrong.

A more thorough examination by Redstate.com and others came up with more damning details. In several public speeches, Kerry describes meeting with the entire UN Security Council and includes the words German and Germans. One, Germany is not one of the five Permanent members of the Security Council (for the civics-challenged, these are the United States, Great Britain, France, Russia and China.) Two, Germany was not on the security council as part of the rotating membership of ten.

In other words, while Kerry might well have met with a German or two in his skulking around as Mr. Unofficial Diplomat of the World, he sure as hell did not meet with them as part of a Security Council session. This story is pure rubbish, and evil.

John Kerry, in the second presidential debate, looked 55 million Americans in their collective eyes, pointed his finger at the president, and said,

"I went to meet with the members of the Security Council in the week before we voted. I went to New York. I talked to all of them to find out how serious they were about really holding Saddam Hussein accountable. I came away convinced that, if we worked at it, if we were ready to work and letting Hans Blix do his job and thoroughly go through the inspections, that if push came to shove, they'd be there with us. " [Emphasis mine]

"But the president just arbitrarily brought the hammer down and said, 'Nope. Sorry, time for diplomacy is over. We're going.'"

Since the debates Kerry has echoed these remarks across America accusing President Bush of not even trying to work with the Security Council, basing this on his "understanding" in a meeting that never took place. He's asking the American people to trust him with the highest office in the land, the most powerful position in the world, in part because he's concocted a fancy story that bolsters his credibility as a world power broker.

Now the question for the American public: Are we going to allow him to get away with this?

The MainStreamMedia is going to avoid this incident. Count on it. It's up to all of us to reveal the truth. We've got a week. No more.
