VP Dick Cheney joined the White House attack on critics of the Iraq war Wednesday night when he told a conservative group that senators who had suggested that the Bush administration manipulated prewar intelligence were making "one of the most dishonest and reprehensible charges ever aired in this city."
Mr. Cheney, who was the administration's toughest, most persistent advocate for the war in Iraq, depicted the senators as hypocrites swayed by antiwar sentiment and their own political ambitions.
"Some of the most irresponsible comments have, of course, come from politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing force against Saddam Hussein," Mr. Cheney told the group, Frontiers of Freedom, at the Mayflower Hotel. "What we're hearing now is some politicians contradicting their own statements and making a play for political advantage in the middle of a war."
The Republican National Committee simultaneously posted on its Web site comments from important Democrats who in the past had warned of the threat of Mr. Hussein.
Among them was the Senate Democratic leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, who was quoted on the Web site as saying on CNN in 2002 that "Saddam Hussein, in effect, has thumbed his nose at the world community, and I think that the president is approaching this in the right fashion."

I wouldn't call them incompetent. I would label them SEDITIOUS.
This commercial is quite long is they played each DemonRAT speaker. Doing three speakers and the words of President Bush would send the message to the sleeping American public.

And, what is inaccurate about such a characterization?
Oh, it is too insensitive to the deamonRATS. :-)
thats right. never forget that the Left is fully aware of what they are doing and its destructive effect on the USA. It is their Brescian Marxist goal to destroy society. that must be accomplished first before the new order can arise. They are MARXISTS and use Marxist/Leninist/Brescian tactics. They are what they are--THE ENEMY WITHIN.
