Liar! Liar!
John Kerry, that is, caught in a baldfaced lie.
I know, this in itself is not exactly news. After all, this is the guy who earlier this year informed us that he'd met lots of foreign leaders who told him that they wanted him as the next U.S. president. Reporters did some legwork and quickly discovered that he could not possibly have met with these leaders because travel records showed that they were never in the same place.
On with Kerry's latest whopper. During the second debate, he again described a meeting with members of the U.N. Security Council;
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.
Not only that, but he sat with "the entire Security Council", as he said in a December 3, 2003 speech to the Council on Foreign Relations
So I sat with the French and British, Germans, 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.
Investigative reporter Joel Mowbray checked this claim, and discovered it to be false. As he reports in today's Washington Times:
U.N. ambassadors from several nations are disputing assertions by Democratic presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry that he met for hours with all members of the U.N. Security Council just a week before voting in October 2002 to authorize the use of force in Iraq.
An investigation by The Washington Times reveals that while the candidate did talk for an unspecified period to at least a few members of the panel, no such meeting, as described by Mr. Kerry on a number of occasions over the past year, ever occurred.
There you go, folks, another whopper.
And on a Less Serious Note
Last night Protein Wisdom reported that this would be today's scoop in the Washington Times.
Oh well. The actual one was just as good.
Update
Michelle Malkin has a good roundup of other Kerry lies here and here.
