The Democrats Are Liars Part II

I am continuing the story from yesterday's "The Democrats Are Liars", about the Democrats who perpetrate the myth that President Bush and the Republicans are solely responsible for the Iraq War. I began with Senator John Kerry and his astonishing speech back in 1997 on the Senate floor. Kerry was calling for military action against Saddam Hussein and Iraq when Bill Clinton was President at that time. So how did Kerry later come to say that President Bush misled us into war in Iraq? Back in the 2004 Presidential Campaign, Kerry earned a well deserved reputation as a "flip-flopper" on important issues. So it did not surprise me to learn that Kerry voted against going to war with Saddam Hussein in 1991 after he'd invaded Kuwait, but on the other hand, he voted for going to war against Saddam Hussein in 2002 in support of President Bush. Further proof of Kerry's belief that Iraq had WMD's prior to the Bush administration comes in the form of a letter that Senator Kerry sent to then President Bill Clinton. Here is an excerpt from that letter; "October 9, 1998 Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, today, along with Senators McCain, Lieberman, Hutchison and twenty-three other Senators, I am sending a letter to the President to express our concern over Iraq's actions and urging the President `after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs". So it is perfectly clear that Senator Kerry and the Democrats attempts to put the blame for the Iraq War on President Bush is wrong. The Democrats have perpetrated a complete and utter lie. It's astonishing that so many Americans have bought into it.
