Kerry will be a long while living this one down. I think he now knows better.



Bush attacks Kerry's foreign "mystery men"


LEBANON, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush (news - web sites) joked that his Democratic rival for the White House, Senator John Kerry (news - web sites), has foreign "mystery men" supporters -- but no real world leaders behind him.

Kerry said in March that decision-makers from abroad told him privately they hoped he will defeat the president in the November 2 election, but he has refused to identify them.

"He claims to have picked up some important endorsements from foreign leaders," Bush said. "Whoever these mystery men are, they will not be deciding this election."

"I'm here to ask for the endorsement, not of foreign leaders, but of the American people," he told cheering supporters here during a two-day tour through vote-rich Michigan and Ohio.

The Massachusetts senator defended his remarks after it was reported in April that he had not travelled on official business abroad in two years by suggesting that he met with them in New York.

"I've got a hunch this whole thing might be a case of mistaken identity," Bush said here. "Just because somebody has an accent or a nice suit or a good table in New York City doesn't make them a foreign leader."
