Here's defeated former Sen. Max Cleland:
(We were) flat-out lied to. By the president, by the vice president and by the secretary of defense.Maybe he still believes the discredited Joe "Mint Tea in Niger" Wilson, but it just goes to show that no matter how much honor you bring on yourself by losing limbs in war, you can still squander it by becoming nothing more than a deluded political hack.
Powell was set up, the Congress was set up, all on false premises to go to war in Iraq. Now, why did Bush go to war in Iraq? Because he concluded that his daddy was a failed president and one of the ways he failed is that he did not take out Saddam Hussein.
