| Democrats Deny Having Pre-War Intelligence |
| 2005-11-11 |
| Scrappleface ALERT!! November 11, 2005 by Scott Ott (2005-11-11) â Democrats in Congress today rejected President George Bushâs accusation that theyâre trying to rewrite history, which shows they supported the Iraq war based on the same intelligence that drove his decision to send in the troops. âWe had no pre-war intelligence,â said Sen. John Kerry, âHistory will show that none of the leading Democrats had substantial intelligence. Anyone who remembers what we did then knows that the president is making a baseless allegation. I think history will bear out my contention that we Democrats lacked the intelligence to make such an important decision.â The junior Senator from Massachussetts said he continues âto faithfully support the troops who uselessly die for a lie in Iraq.â âOur troops deserve to know that their elected leaders who voted to send them to war will remain firm in our conviction that we didnât know what we were doing at the time,â Sen. Kerry said. âItâs important, on Veteranâs Day, to remember that our Democrat commitment to our military hasnât changed.â White House spokesman Scott McClellan repeated his categorical denial that the Bush administration âever manipulated anyoneâs intelligence or ignorance.â Guess the Dems are all ahuff since the Prez called them cowardly history rewriters and potential anti-americans as well as opportunists parading on 2000 graves - oops, that's my take... if the shoe fits... |
