RNC ad chides Kerry on foreign support

Washington, DC, Jul. 19 (UPI) -- The GOP is revisiting Sen. John F. Kerry's claim he was endorsed for president by foreign leaders he would not name in a Web ad that premiered Monday.

The new look was prompted, the Republican National Committee said, by reports that former Nicaraguan Sandinista leader Tomas Borge, minister of the interior in the Castro-backed regime, supported Kerry's bid to win the White House.

The subject of the 30-second ad is Kerry's claim he had been privately endorsed for president by foreign leaders but, "I'm not going to tell you who they are because that would betray their position."

"The cloud of mystery surrounding John Kerry's support by foreign leaders lifted a little over the weekend," RNC spokesman Jim Dyke said in reference to Borge's endorsement.

Kerry was a vocal opponent of U.S. policy in Central America during the Reagan administration that included efforts to drive the Sandinistas from power.

"Slightly Less Mysterious Man of Mystery," a takeoff on the series of Austin Powers movies that spoof the spy films of the late 1960s, can be seen on the Republican National Committee's GOP.com Web site. Links to the ad are currently scheduled to run, the committee said, on targeted Web sites.
