Kennedy: Iraq war a political product marketed by Bush to win
elections
By Lolita C. Baldor, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP)
The Iraq war was a ''political product'' marketed by the Bush
administration to win elections, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said in a
speech prepared for delivery on Wednesday.
As a result, Kennedy said, Bush and the Republicans in Congress ''put
the state of our nation at risk, and they do not deserve another term
in the White House or in control of Congress.''
Kennedy, D-Mass., said Bush's decisions to target Saddam Hussein, go
to war in Iraq and transfer sovereignty to the Iraqi people have all
been made for Republican political gain and timed to influence
elections in 2002 and 2004.
Laying out a broad critique of the administration, Kennedy said Bush's
arrogant march to war in Iraq has given Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida
new life and made the war on terrorism harder to win.
''The war has made America more hated in the world,'' Kennedy said.
''And it has made our people more vulnerable to attacks both here and
overseas.''
The speech continues Kennedy's vigorous assault on Bush's Iraq
policies.
Last September, in an interview with The Associated Press, Kennedy
called the war a fraud ''made up in Texas.''
Bush later called Kennedy's remarks ''uncivil.''
On Wednesday, Kennedy praised Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill,
who earlier this week asserted that Bush had begun planning for regime
change in Iraq long before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
O'Neill, said Kennedy, has great integrity and intelligence, and ''it
is easy to see why he was so concerned by what he heard about Iraq in
the Bush administration.''
Drawing on O'Neill's remarks and statements by other officials over
the past two years, Kennedy concludes that Bush and his ''axis of
war'' Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld
and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz turned their focus on Iraq
to divide Congress, distract Americans from the troubled economy and
secure votes in the 2002 elections.
And now, he said, the ongoing reconstruction in Iraq and plans to turn
control over to the Iraqi people this summer ''are intended to build
momentum for the November elections in this country as well.''
As a result, said Kennedy, the American military is overextended and
soldiers have been needlessly killed and wounded.
And, he said the shift to Iraq allowed al-Qaida and Taliban fighters
to regroup, restore their drug trade, and step up their terrorist
campaign in Afghanistan.
''We are reaping the poison fruit of our misguided and arrogant
foreign policy,'' said Kennedy.
''No president of the United States should employ misguided ideology
and distortion of the truth to take the nation to war.''
And by doing so, he said, Bush broke the bond of trust with the
American people.
''No president who does that to this land we love deserves to be
re-elected,'' said Kennedy, who is backing fellow Massachusetts
Democrat Sen. John Kerry for president.
Kennedy voted against going to war, and backed an unsuccessful effort
to cancel tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans in order to pay for
the war and reconstruction of Iraq.

Davvero?  Non ammazza nessuno ... perche' lo dici tu?  Sai, Saddam ne ha
ammazzati centinaia di migliaia da quello che sembra.  Se fosse stato
ancora al potere chi sarebbe stato il responsabile di quelle morti?
