John Kerry still hasn't revealed the names of the foreign leaders who are working behind the scenes on his behalf, but today's news reports contain some relevant items.
Jose Zapatero, the appeasement-happy Al-Qaeda-endorsed Spanish prime minister-elect endorsed Kerry:
Prime Minister-elect José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero yesterday described the U.S. occupation of Iraq as "a fiasco" and suggested American voters should follow the example set by Spain and change their leadership by supporting Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry in November.Former Malaysian prime minister Dr. Mohammed Mahathir, a Muslim who is best known for propagating anti-semitic conspiracy theories, also endorsed Kerry today:
"I think Kerry would be much more willing to listen to the voices of people and of the rest of the world," Mahathir, who retired in October after 22 years in power, told The Associated Press in an interview.A posting on Kerry's campaign blog says that Kerry "rejects any association with ... Mahathir", but doesn't repudiate Mahathir's characterizations of Kerry's positions that led to the endorsement. Kerry also doesn't dispute the statements made by the appeasement-happy Al-Qaeda-endorsed Spanish prime minister-elect.
