 Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2004 5:58 pm Post subject: Edwards, for one, not "misled" |
 |
|
Kerry blustered right after Bush's speech last week that Bush misled us in the war on Iraq. Both Kerry and Edwards sit on the Senate Intelligence Committee (though Kerry rarely was there -- probably windsurfing). Edwards, for one, said he was not mislead.
Here is what he said on Hardball, Oct. 13, 2003
(from http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3131295/):
| Quote: | MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about-Since you did support the resolution and you did support that ultimate solution to go into combat and to take over that government and occupy that country. Do you think that you, as a United States Senator, got the straight story from the Bush administration on this war? On the need for the war? Did you get the straight story?
EDWARDS: Well, the first thing I should say is I take responsibility for my vote. Period. And I did what I did based upon a belief, Chris, that Saddam Hussein’s potential for getting nuclear capability was what created the threat. That was always the focus of my concern. Still is the focus of my concern.
So did I get misled? No. I didn’t get misled.
MATTHEWS: Did you get an honest reading on the intelligence?
EDWRADS: But now we’re getting to the second part of your question.
I think we have to get to the bottom of this. I think there’s clear inconsistency between what’s been found in Iraq and what we were told.
And as you know, I serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee. So it wasn’t just the Bush administration. I sat in meeting after meeting after meeting where we were told about the presence of weapons of mass destruction. There is clearly a disconnect between what we were told and what, in fact, we found there.
MATTHEWS: If you knew last October when you had to cast an aye or nay vote for this war, that we would be unable to find weapons of mass destruction after all these months there, would you still have supported the war?
EDWARDS: It wouldn’t change my views. I said before, I think that the threat here was a unique threat. It was Saddam Hussein, the potential for Saddam getting nuclear weapons, given his history and the fact that he started the war before. |
Also, I guess Kerry must feel that even if he was misled, it was no big deal, since he has said he would still have voted for the war, knowing what he knows now. I know he would dearly love to spin himself out of that one, but if he tries he will look like an even bigger idiot than he is.
These girlie men somehow hope that Americans have no memories whatsoever, so they can just keep making it up as they go.
Sorry, Traitor John and John-Boy, history is not Etch-A-Sketch.

Thanks!

Is there any position that Kerry-Edwards will not take to win the election?
Is there anything that Kerry-Edwards will not say to the win the election?
Is there any level too low for Kerry-Edwards to stoop to win the election?
The only candidates who have taken a position and stuck with it is Bush/Cheney.
The only candidates who consistently say the same thing are Bush/Cheney.
The only candidates willing to stand on one rock-solid platform are Bush/Cheney.
This election is too serious to leave it to a world of gadflys, goldbrickers. good time charleys.
