Subject: Kennedy Says Case for Iraq War Was Fraud


> Kennedy Says Case for Iraq War Was Fraud
> By STEVE LeBLANC, AP
>
> BOSTON (AP) - The case for going to war against Iraq was a fraud "made up
in
> Texas" to give Republicans a political boost, Sen. Edward Kennedy said
> Thursday.
>
> In an interview with The Associated Press, Kennedy also said the Bush
> administration has failed to account for nearly half of the $4 billion the
war is
> costing each month. He said he believes much of the unaccounted-for money
is
> being used to bribe foreign leaders to send in troops.
>
> He called the Bush administration's current Iraq policy "adrift."
>
> The Massachusetts Democrat expressed doubts about how serious a threat
Saddam
> Hussein posed to the United States in its battle against terrorism. He
said
> administration officials relied on "distortion, misrepresentation, a
selection
> of intelligence" to justify their case for war.
>
> "There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in
> January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and
was going
> to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud," Kennedy said.
>
> Kennedy said a recent report by the Congressional Budget Office showed
that
> only about $2.5 billion of the $4 billion being spent monthly on the war
can be
> accounted for by the Bush administration.
>
> "My belief is this money is being shuffled all around to these political
> leaders in all parts of the world, bribing them to send in troops," he
said.
>
> Of the $87 billion in new money requested by President Bush for the war,
> Kennedy said the administration should be required to report back to the
Congress
> to account for the spending.
>
> "We want to support our troops because they didn't make the decision to go
> there... but I don't think it should be open-ended. We ought to have a
benchmark
> where the administration has to come back and give us a report," he added.
>
> Kennedy said the focus on Iraq has drawn the nation's attention away from
> more direct threats, including al-Qaida, instability in Afghanistan or the
> nuclear ambitions of North Korea.
>
> "I think all of those pose a threat to the security of the people of
> Massachusetts much more than the threat from Iraq," Kennedy said. "Terror
has been put
> on the sidelines for the last 12 months."
