John Kerry actually said...

"It's my prayer that Americans are not being held hostage to a secret deal between the White House and a Saudi prince."

"if this alleged deal by Bob Woodward, if it is, in fact, true, he says it's quote, 'outrageous, unacceptable to the American people.'"

"And if, as Bob Woodward reports, it is true it that gas supplies and prices in America are tied to the American election and tied to a secret White House deal, then that is outrageous and unacceptable..."

"I don't subscribe to the same course that George Bush is pursing but we are where we are sir and it would be unwise beyond belief for the United States of America to leave a failed Iraq in its wake."
