Chris Matthews asks Kerry about O'Neills bombshell today, Kerry replies...

[doubles]

Let's discuss more important issues, Howard Dean said..........

He then proceeds to bash Dean. What the #@&* is Kerry's problem?

Apparently, our spineless Democrats are ready to sweep another potential Bush bombshell under the rug.

John Kerry Responds to Secretary O’Neill’s Iraq Charges


January 10, 2004

For Immediate Release
Des Moines, Iowa -



“These are very serious charges by a former high ranking Administration official. We already knew the Administration failed to focus on the threat from Osama Bin Laden and Al Queda. We already knew the Administration broke every promise they made to work through the U.N., use the resolution to enforce inspections, build a coalition, and plan for peace. But Secretary O’Neill’s revelations would mean the Administration never intended to even try to keep those promises. It would mean they were dead-set on going to war alone since almost the day they took office and deliberately lied to the American people, Congress, and the world. It would mean that for purely ideological reasons they planned on putting American troops in a shooting gallery occupying an Arab country almost alone. The White House needs to answer these charges truthfully because they threaten to shatter their already damaged credibility as never before.”

John F. Kerry

I'm a Kerry supporter, but this was a fat pitch to hit, and Kerry whiffed.
