Kennedy calls Bush misadmin liars over Iraq war
"The administration still refuses to face the truth or tell the truth," Senator Edward Kennedy said, accusing the Bush administration of telling "lie after lie after lie" to defend its Iraq policy. "Instead the White House responds by covering up its failures and trying to sell its rosy version of events by repeating it with maximum frequency and volume, and minimum regard for realities on the ground."
"All the administration's rationalizations as we prepared to go to war now stand revealed as double-talk. The American people were told Saddam Hussein was building nuclear weapons. He was not. We were told he had stockpiles of other weapons of mass destruction. He did not. We were told he was involved in 9/11. He was not. We were told Iraq was attracting terrorists from Al Qaeda. It was not. We were told our soldiers would be viewed as liberators. They are not. We were told Iraq could pay for its own reconstruction. It cannot. We were told the war would make America safer. It has not."
Well, we were spared the horror of that 10-year-old vial of Botox, Ted.
