Bush Continues to Attack Dems on Iraq
President Bush continued to attack Democrats for criticizing him about misleading the country. Check the link here. He has been calling such actions irresponsible and detrimental to the war effort.
In his prepared Alaska remarks, Bush noted that some elected Democrats in Congress "have opposed this war all along."
"I disagree with them, but I respect their willingness to take a consistent stand," he said. "Yet some Democrats who voted to authorize the use of force are now rewriting the past. They are playing politics with this issue and sending mixed signals to our troops and the enemy."
In the Senate, 29 Democrats voted with 48 Republicans for the war authorization measure in late 2002, including 2004 Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, and his running mate, John Edwards of North Carolina. Both have recently been harshly critical of Bush's conduct of the war and its aftermath.
On Capitol Hill, top Democrats stood their ground in claiming Bush misled Congress and the country. "The war in Iraq was and remains one of the great acts of misleading and deception in American history," Kerry told a news conference.
Democrats offered a proposal urging the president to outline an estimate for a phased withdrawal of U.S. troops. The Senate was expected to vote on it on Tuesday, as well as on a rival GOP Iraq policy proposal that does not include a withdrawal provision.
Okay, what did the Democrats know? Did they see all the information about WMDs from the CIA, including doubts about White House contentions? How can Kerry and the Dems condemn Bush when they saw the same intelligence, or did they? This is not clear to me. Inquiring minds want to know.
