This is SUCH a boneheaded move on Kerry’s part,it almost seems that BUSH did do this,how can Kerry be this ignorant? He has the least quantity of common sense of anyone I’ve ever seen I believe and these clowns say Bush is shallow.

On the other hand,France has now been implicated in delivering to the CIA via an Italian middleman the infamous and fake Niger uranium documents ,sometimes reality is more interesting than fiction!
