"It's only a Little Lie" said Pinnochio John

After a weekend of high expectattions regarding a 'big story' condemning of Kerry, we wake Monday moring to the media buzz of what? A story about a missing 380 tons of munitions in Iraq, and a story about Kerry getting a ball game score wrong. Nothing about Kerry lieing about the UN at all. What happenend? An abortion. The media decided to kill this story before it was born. By releasing the story about the missing explosives, the media was able to turn the focus to what appears to be a BIG story, and accuse the government of negligence. Problem is, the story is not that big. CQ has a good explanation of why.

Why do I think that Kerry needs to be grilled over this blatant lie? Because of the fact that he did not need to say what he did...

Thanks to some friends in New York, I was invited to come up and meet with the Security Council in the week prior to the vote, and I wanted to do that, because I valued my vote. And I wanted to know what the real readiness and willingness of our partners was to take this seriously.
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.

It is debated that Kerry may have actually had some private discussions with these members, but that is not the lie.

1. The lie is that he was invited to attend a meeting with UNSC
2. The lie is also that he met with the entire UNSC

The WaTimes gives the whole story

IF Kerry had indeed met with SOME of the UNSC members, why not just say that. Instead he unnecessarily lied by making the statements he did. If Kerry can lie in the small matters like he did here, he WILL lie when it comes to BIG matters. It is all a matter of character. Kerry's is flawed.
