Speech by Senator John Kerry on Persian Gulf Politics

On the floor of the US Senate, Wednesday, March 13, 1991

In this long diatribe not even the remotest mention that he was even near Iraq. This is important because if he had been there he most assuredly would have pontificated on it in this speech on the Senate floor.
