2. I'm looking, but I have a few questions
Sen. KErry went to Iraq last August the week that Katrina hit. (I, along with every other hysterical Democrat, spent the week calling my elected officials and screaming at them to find a way to help those people in NOLA. Sen. Kerry's visit to Iraq was not publicized. He went with two other Sens, but it was low-key.)

The Senator, to the best of my knowledge, cut his Iraq trip short and came home to help. (Or in case the Congress actually decided to meet and interrupt their August vacations to help some drowning Americans. Alas, that didn't really happen.)

The Senator didn't really talk about Iraq again until around Oct 26th (or so, I think) and he did so throughout November.

What specifically are you looking for? MSNBC has transcripts of the Matthews interview from Nov and does CNN. The Senator made a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations in early Dec and that was very good. Also, Kerry vocally and passionately defended Cong. Murtha from the Swift Boat like attacks around Nov. 11th or so. You can look this up in the Cong. Record by that date.

Does this help?
