White House to Kerry: Prove Assertion

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=694&e=4&u=/ap/20040315/ap_on_el_pr/kerry_foreign_leaders

WASHINGTON - The White House, seeking to raise credibility questions about Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites), suggested Monday that the presumptive nominee had lied when he said some foreign leaders privately back his candidacy.

Kerry should identify the leaders who purportedly hope he beats President Bush (news - web sites) in November, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. "Either he is straightforward and states who they are, or the only conclusion one can draw is that he is making it up to attack the president," the spokesman said.

Three times, McClellan repeated the charge that Kerry was "making it up." And he sought to turn Kerry's assertion to the White House's advantage by using it to raise questions about Kerry's credibility.

"This is not the first time he has refused to back up his assertions," McClellan said.

10. HA! Let's compare what the two might have credibility issues on
Kerry-Said that some foreign leaders want him to beat Bush

Personally I don' think that that will win him a lot of votes but they were PRIVATE conversations so if PRIVATE conversations are in play

Let us know more about who Dick met with to write up the energy policy. Isn't privacy their main argument?

W-Tax cuts will create jobs
WMD
Threat
Mushroom cloud
Links to terrorists
No nation building
No 9/11 investigation...okay a 9/11 investigation but only for an hour with me....okay I won't walk out
No Office of Homeland Security...okay an Office of Homeland security
I'm from Texas

More?

3. don't they have a few things that still lack proof on the agenda?
Kerry should reveal his foreign supporters as soon as WMDs are found
in Iraq.

11. It would be kinda cool if some other nation's leaders
came out and said they were for Kerry. Would kinda sink that little ploy quickly, at which point we can ask for resolutions to the multitude of lies put forth by this misadmin.
