Dont believe any of the smear artists. If they're right once out of 20 times it's just an accident. They're about as credible as OJ Simpson.

JOHN KERRY'S BIG LIE Joel Mowbry of the Washington Times investigated this John Kerry claim in the second presidential debate: "'This president hasn't listened. 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,' Mr. Kerry said of the Iraqi dictator." Kerry had made the same claim a year ago: "Speaking before the Council on Foreign Relations in New York in December 2003, Mr. Kerry explained that he understood the 'real readiness' of the United Nations to 'take this seriously' because he met 'with the entire Security Council, and we spent a couple of hours talking about what they saw as the path to a united front in order to be able to deal with Saddam Hussein.'" But Mowbry reports Kerry had no such meetings and no such understandings: "But of the five ambassadors on the Security Council in 2002 who were reached directly for comment, four said they had never met Mr. Kerry. The four also said that no one who worked for their countries' U.N. missions had met with Mr. Kerry either." Like the memory of his secret and illegal mission to Cambodia on Christmas Eve in 1968 --an experience Kerry said on the floor of the Senate in 1986 had been "seared, seared" into his memory-- Kerry's memory of meeting with the entire Security Council, or even a majority of it, is simply whole clothe fabrication. A lie. A tall tale spun for the political advantage he hoped it would bring. Just like his tales of cross-border adventure in Cambodia. So what first person account of John Kerry's can you trust? Answer: None that arrive without third party verification.
