ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry straddled the diplomatic boundary this weekend between presenting the best face of America and a misleading one.
In a question-and-answer session with young Ethiopians on Sunday, Kerry exaggerated the U.S. record on climate change, appeared to conflate past U.S. policy on drones with President Barack Obama's new policy and gave an incomplete account of how he opposed the Iraq war. A day earlier, he struggled with economic data as well as the contents of his own department's terrorism blacklist.
Here's a look at how some of his statements measured up against the facts:
---
KERRY on drones:
KERRY: "I opposed the president's decision to go into Iraq."
---
KERRY on climate change: "We're below the Kyoto levels now."
KERRY on talking with terrorists:
