Bush Forcefully Attacks Iraq Critics

"The stakes in the global war on terror are too high and the national
interest is too important for politicians to throw out false charges," the president said in his combative Veterans Day speech.Defending the march to war, Bush said that foreign intelligence services and Democrats and Republicans alike were convinced at the time that former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction."Some Democrats and anti-war critics are now claiming we manipulated the intelligence and mislead the American people about why we went to war," Bush said.He said those critics have made those allegations although they know that a Senate investigation "found no evidence" of political pressure to change the intelligence community's assessments related to Saddam's weapons program.
FINALLY the President goes on the offensive against the Democrats who are trying to revise history. As far back as the Clinton administration, the Dems were saying Hussein was a threat. In this day and age where the uninformed form their opinions from a sound bite they hear on the news, the President should be out there every day reminding people why we went to war and that Democrats supported the decision. Even Chuck Schumer, one of the Presidents harshest critics saw the intelligence reports and supported the removal of Hussein.
"We will never back down. We will never give in. We will never accept anything less than complete victory," he said Friday.
Thank God for this man's resolve. The terrorists will never go away. They are bent on our destruction and we should be just as determined to kill every last one of them as they are determined to kill us.
