Kerry Claims He Met with Security Council of United Nations over Iraq(OOPS - FOREIGN LEADER ALERT)

CNN (Unity Conference) ^ | 8/7/2004 | John Kerry / Unity Conference

[Steven W.]

"I believe in my heart of hearts and in my gut that this president fails that test in Iraq. And I know this because I, personally, and others were deeply involved in the effort with other countries to bring them to the table. I met with the Security Council of the United Nations in the week preceding the vote in the Senate."

[Steven W.]

Of course the US Ambassador to the United Nations and Secretary of State usually negotiate on behalf of the United States in the Security Council. Kerry was actually bragging he (supposedly) met with other nations on the council, opposed to US interests, trying to bring the Bush Administration to the table ?!?!

[mabelkitty]

This is treason.
He is representing the US in a capacity he doesn't hold.
In other words, Senaotre, you were acting above your pay grade.

[Darkwolf377]

He met with them between the awarding of medals #2 and #3.

[JediForce]

After meeting with his world leader friend King Friday of Mister Rogers Neighborhood...John Fonda Kerredy exclaimed.."I actually voted for the resolutions before I voted against them.

[KCrouch]

If this were true, it would be right in character. He met with the North Vietnamese leadership while honeymooning in Paris in 1971, and was still a member of the Navy.
On the other hand, it would also be in character for him to have lied about this.

[Lurking in Kansas]

In other words, Senaotre, you were acting above your pay grade.

He was just there to get his orders.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

If I were a powerful liberal Democrat politician, the only thing I would meet with the UN about is to ask where's my cut of the Oil For Food Program dollars. Supporting those UN weasels at all costs has it's price. And to suggest I need huge campaign contributions.

[JustaCowgirl]

This is a great catch. I hope the RNC is well aware of this statement and is investigating it.

Seems to me Kerry is now damned if he did and damned if he didn't. If he didn't, he's caught in a flat-out lie, one that he can't easily excuse away. If he did, then he was WAY overreaching his legitimate powers, and trying to deal with the U.N. in a manner that might well have compromised our negotiations with other countries.

What an absolute moron this man is. I just hope somebody makes a BIG issue of this.

[aruanan]

If so, he was trespassing on turf reserved exclusively for the Executive Branch. But then, when did Kerry ever give a rat's ass about the Constitution?

[OXENinFLA]

NICE FIND!

[piasa]

So did Kerry file a report with the State Dept concerning his meeting with foreign leaders?

[eeriegeno]

This is treason. He is representing the US in a capacity he doesn't hold. In other words, Senaotre, you were acting above your pay grade.

Nope, the pathological liar is just saying what his current audience wants to hear him say. 'No convictions John' is just being 'no convictions John' once again......

[piasa]

fyi

[MrChips]

He's God. Haven't you heard?

[tsmith130]

I just hope somebody makes a BIG issue of this.

Yeah, me too...but it won't happen. It never does...and it's damned annoying. It's giving me an upset stomach!

[sandbar]

Bump for later postings.

[TomGuy]

Trying to read some of that CNN transcript, I concluded: Kerry can take the simple and make it convoluted.

One of many examples of the convoluted Kerry-speak:

Kerry: I think we have to recognize that the Native American community, which has not been recognized, has as much desire, has as much interest and is as prepared and is as capable and always has protected America with as much zeal as any other community, and we ought to trust it and provide the funding necessary as a separate jurisdiction where that coordination is not absolutely necessary.

Huh???? What is that supposed to mean?

[A Citizen Reporter]

"I met with the Security Council of the United Nations in the week preceding the vote in the Senate."

Hmmmm, I wonder what Colin Powell will have to say about that.

[Mo1]

Wasn't it reported that Kerry said he didn't report the intell report before voting?

[Mo1]

Huh???? What is that supposed to mean?

Isn't his thought process scary?

[OXENinFLA]

Didn't report or didn't get briefed?

[Iam1ru1-2]

John Care-ee criticized Bush for not doing anything for almost 7 minutes when he heard about the WTC plane crash, but in an interview with Senator Kerry after the 9-11 attack, he said when he learned about the attack, he was "frozen" unable to do anything, and then he saw smoke billowing from the pentagon and realized another plane had hit it also. So from the 2nd plane crash into the WTC tower til the crash of the plane into the Pentagon was 40 minutes. 40 minutes he and his colleagues were "Frozen" and were unable to do anything, but he criticizes President Bush for doing nothing for "almost seven minutes"

WHAT A TOTAL HYPOCRITE!!!!

[Dolphy]

I voted to hold Saddam Hussein accountable, because, had I been president, I would have wanted that authority, because that was the way to enforce the U.N. resolutions and be tough with the prospect of his development of weapons of mass destruction. But the president said he would go to war as a last resort. The president said he would exhaust the remedies of the U.N. The president said he would build a legitimate international coalition.

Tony Blair has said that France would not, under any circumstances, support military action. This was the last resort...if you were truly interested in holding Iraq accountable. But now I wonder if Kerry just threw away his vote in the Senate knowing that UN wasn't going to support the war. Kerry truly is gutless.

As an aside, the transcript puts into context Kerry's cheap shot about the President's initial reactions on September 11. There was no call for the remark, he went out of his way to weave into his response.

[thehounded]

I supppose he filed the briefing of this UNSC meeting with his Secretary of State Samuel Hamburglar.

[txflake]

Renegade statesmanship. It's illegal.

[Steven W.]

it's pandering gobbledy-gook for Native Americans panelist who asked her question ... and it bodes well for the debates this fall because Kerry tends to venture down unchartered territory when he has to answer off-the-cuff.

[sockmonkey]

BTTT!

[TomGuy]

Definitely.

Every time I listen to one of his speeches or read a transcript, I think how can people not question the content?

He rambles incoherently. Yet, none of the media and none of the loyal opposition question him about what he says. Half or more of what is says has no meaning, if one really listens or reads his statements.

[exhaustedmomma]

I (kerry), personally, and others were deeply involved in the effort with other countries to bring them to the table. I met with the Security Council of the United Nations in the week preceding the vote in the Senate.

Well, well, well... is this where he gets the other countries who he claim back him and want Bush out??? You know, the ones he "won't tell us their names."

[musicman]

Maybe kerry was just "helping out a friend".

Maybe Jimmy Carter was going to do it, but Carter had a busy "house building schedule", so he asked kerry to "fill-in" for him.

[Diogenesis]

In Sadr City, today, behind enemy lines with the
Sh'ite terrorists. The graffiti states in Arabic 'No more Bush'.

[Mo1]

I'm thinkig both ..

So what dates are we looking at for this so called meeting so we can figure out where he actually was

[Mo1]

Half or more of what is says has no meaning, if one really listens or reads his statements.

Maybe they aren't listening to what he says?

[JimSEA]

Oh my God! If this man becomes President, It will likely cost hundreds of thousands of American lives and destroy any credibility we have gained since Clinton.

[OXENinFLA]

Well this would have to be UNSCR 1441, cause after that Bush made all the plays.

That was the last UN vote on Iraq, before the war.

[A Citizen Reporter]

I suppose it depends on which senate vote Kerry means.

"Senate approves Iraq war resolution
Administration applauds vote
Friday, October 11, 2002 Posted: 12:35 PM EDT

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In a major victory for the White House, the Senate early Friday voted 77-23 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refuses to give up weapons of mass destruction as required by U.N. resolutions."

[OXENinFLA]

In Sadr City, today, behind enemy lines with the Sh'ite terrorists. The graffiti states in Arabic 'No more Bush'.

They all turned gay????

[A Citizen Reporter]

Kerry's quote referred to the week preceeding the vote in the senate.

[OXENinFLA]

"vote in the Senate."



Oops, sorry it's getting late......

[RippleFire]

bump

[mabelkitty]

I must have missed that memo.
He lied(?) to a group of black libs. Wonder how they will defend their indifference?

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Kerry wants (is promising) massive amounts of US money to Indians to FUND (er, bribe) Indians as "separate nations" (on their reservations ???) ... Or on their original lands?

It's teh old "give minorities money" scam that the black leaders are using (reparations) to keep the black vote democratic.

[Siegfried]

If monsieur Kerri' can't substantiate this claim, then I suggest it's time to give him a jacket with long sleeves that tie around the back!

[Bahbah]

Good catch, TomGuy. I'm adding this to my collection of Kerry speak.

[mabelkitty]

He's pandering to an internal fight between BIA and the Native communities.

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

I'd like to see Kerry's travel agenda for "the week before the Senate vote..."

[Steven W.]

I'm reminded that Saddam was promised by the French and others that they'd NEVER approve a separate resolution "allowing" the US to go to war.

[dufekin]

According to John F. Kerry, the Constitution vests the power to forge international alliances and negotiate with the French in the junior Senator from the great Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the power to write laws with the president, the power to make laws with radio companies, and the power, duty, and responsibility to wage pre-emptive warfare with the Governor of Texas.

I'd like to see a copy of his Constitution, because I think mine is seriously defective.
