Bush says on weapons: "we do not know the facts"

[IChing]

snip>>.

Bush did bring up the matter a few minutes later, in a speech in Lititz, Pa.

"Now the senator is making wild charges about missing explosives when his top foreign policy adviser admits, quote, 'we do not know the facts.'" Bush said. "Think about that - the senator's denigrating the action of our troops and commanders in the field without knowing the facts. Unfortunately, that's part of a pattern of saying almost anything to get elected."





Bush was referring to remarks made by Kerry adviser Richard Holbrooke Tuesday in an interview with Fox News. Holbrooke said "the U.N. inspectors had told the American military this was a major depot." He added: "I don't know what happened. I do know one thing - in most administrations the buck stops in the Oval Office."

1. As the leader of the U.S. military and the instigator of a war

he damned well SHOULD have known the facts before
he sent our troops into harms way!

He is truly INCOMPETENT and not fit to lead.
