Kennedy: Iraq War a 'Fraud'
It looks as if President Bush's plan to set "a new tone" and govern as "a uniter, not a divider" has backfired, as far as Sen. Ted Kennedy is concerned, judging by the Massachusetts Democrat's comments yesterday.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Kennedy said Iraq never posed any imminent threat to the U.S. and claimed that Bush's war on terrorism was "a fraud made up in Texas to give Republicans a political boost."
Kennedy also accused Bush of misappropriating more than a billion dollars in U.S. aid to Iraq, saying that reconstruction funds have been used instead to bribe leaders in the region so they'll send troops to aid the American military effort.
In 2001, President Bush launched a charm offensive on Sen. Kennedy that included allowing the notorious liberal to water down what was supposed to be a top Bush domestic priority - the education bill.
Months later, Bush renamed the Justice Department after Robert F. Kennedy.
Speaking at the ceremony to mark the honor, RFK's daughter Kerry Kennedy Cuomo immediately trashed Bush's goodwill gesture, announcing to her daughter, who was in the crowd, "Cara, if anyone tries to tell you this is the type of justice your grandpa would embrace, don't you believe it."
The White House declined to comment yesterday about Sen. Kennedy's latest verbal assault.
LMAO!!!
