Bush to counter Democrats
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush will use a Veterans Day speech on Friday to fight back against Democratic charges that the White House misused intelligence to gain support for the Iraq war, administration officials said.

"The president is going to directly take on the false attacks that Democratic leaders have been making," a senior administration official told Reuters.

"I point out that some of the critics today believed, themselves, in 2002 that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. They stated that belief, and they voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq," said Stephen Hadley, the president's national security adviser, on Thursday.

"For those critics to ignore their own past statements, exposes the hollowness of their current attacks," he said.

The whole point that the Dems are making is that the administration LIED about the threat that Saddam posed. It was based on those lies that the Dems believed that there were weapons and that is why they authorized the use of force - which, as anyone with a fraction of a brain knows, is not the same as authorizing war! These vile repugs know that if the Dems knew the truth, then they would never have sided with the war-mongers!
I think and hope that the American people are waking up to fact that they were lied to - according to all the polls, they are. Let's hope that the sheeple won't think otherwise simply based on a couple of lying speeches!
