Kristol: Bush made misstatements on Iraq WMDs
Sunday June 8, 2003: From rightwing apologist/hack via rightwing rag Noozemax.com:

In comments sure to be seized upon by Bush administration critics at home and abroad, one of the leading proponents of the war in Iraq said Sunday that pResident Bush may have lied lied LIED misstated the case that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction before the U.S. attacked.

"We shouldn't deny, those of us who were hawks, that there could have been misstatements made, I think in good faith," Weekly Standard of Propaganda editor/neocon Bill Kristol told Fox News Sunday.

Asked, by whom, the leading Iraq war backer explained, "By the president and the secretary of state, [statements] that will turn out to be erroneous."

Kristol stressed that he didn't believe charges from Bush administration critics that the president had deliberately distorted WMD intelligence.

But he added, "I hope [the WMDs] are found but I'm very skeptical. We have interrogated a lot of people and we haven't found a single person who said he participated in disposing, destroying the stock of weapons of mass destruction. Or in hiding them."


Soldiers died.
