Washington Times Story Debunked/Explained
The WashTimes is calling Kerry a liar by saying he said he met with the entire Security Council and the WashTimes has found that he didn't meet with the representatives of Mexico, Colombia and Bulgaria.

Kerry's exact quote:
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.

What the WashTimes didn't stop to think about is that maybe Kerry meant the permanent Security Council, who is the US, French, British, Russians, China.

they had some religious correspondent forom their on Washington Journal on C-span saturday morning masquerading as a non-biased source. I tried all damn segment to get through to Pedro and tell him to never do that again.

5. This story is completely buried by missing Iraq explosives
anyway, so I don't think it will have any traction at all.

6. Yeah, I don't think it will get much play either, but
it's nice to know the truth so that you can slamdunk any repuke that tries to say Kerry lied.
