I'm going to be honest: I can't stand John Kerry. But even if I was a Democrat (God forbid!) I would cringe a bit at his assertion that "world leaders" are backing him. He's been called on it several times, and he always tries to weasel out of answering. It only makes him look worse. And now that Colin Powell has said, in not so many words, to "put up or shut up," he's got a bigger problem on his hands. Every time he asks Bush, "Where are the WMDs?" Bush can retort, "Who are the world leaders?"
