Bill Bennett: “I do not challenge his patriotism, but I challenge his accuracy and his conclusions. I think we should also understand…”

“I do not challenge his patriotism, but I challenge his accuracy and his conclusions. I think we should also understand that as we differ on this, we are not attacking someone's patriotism. That canard has been thrown across the aisle at those of us who stand to defend the President and differ with our colleagues. He quoted David Kay, the President's arms inspector, as saying they are admitting now there are no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. What he failed to quote from David Kay was the statement that after concluding his inspection in Iraq, David Kay came to the conclusion that Saddam Hussein was in fact more dangerous than we thought he was when we launched the war. I think that is the point that keeps being ignored and must be emphasized again.”
