Cheney: Kerry 'Trying to Rewrite History'

[GreenPartyVoter]

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday accused his Democratic opponents of "trying to rewrite history for their own political purposes" when they criticize the Bush administration for going to war based on flawed prewar intelligence.

Sens. John Kerry and John Edwards, the presumed Democratic presidential ticket, reviewed the same reports on Iraq that were given to President Bush and supported the decision to go to war, Cheney said.

"Now it seems they've both developed a convenient case of campaign amnesia," the vice president said during a fund-raiser in Bethlehem, one stop on a daylong campaign swing through Pennsylvania. "If the president was right, and he was, then they are simply trying to rewrite history for their own political purposes."

A Senate Intelligence Committee report concluded that the CIA provided unfounded assessments of the threat posed by Iraq with weapons of mass destruction.

1. This won't change anyone's mind

Just another lame attempt to camoflage the moral bankruptcy and mendacity that got us into the mess. If this is the best he can do then he can go CHENEY himself.

2. That's Pretty Rich

Coming from the man who has rewritten the events of September 11 to include Saddam Hussein laughing maniacally behind the controls of all four planes that day.

3. Once again, Kerry did NOT support going to war

He supported letting the pResident have the power to make that decision which was supposed to be based on sound logic (yeah, well that's hopeless).
