Wes Clark Blasts Bush For Rewriting Rationale For War

Little Rock - The Bush Administration has been touching up history and rewriting its rationale for going to war in Iraq. In recent weeks, the White House has redacted words it used on the White House website.

As the Washington Post reported today, the Bush Administration edited its website so that a May 1st speech by the President entitled "President Bush Announces Combat Operations in Iraq Have Ended," now reads "President Bush Announces /Major/ Combat Operations in Iraq Have Ended."

This is just the latest effort of the Bush Administration to change its rationale for war. Wes Clark said:

"First the Bush Administration played a game of bait-and-switch, by focusing on invading Iraq to distract the American people from their failure to round up al Qaeda."

"Now the Bush Administration is playing a shell game of shifting rationales for why we went to war in Iraq."

"Leadership isn't about playing tricks. It requires honesty and accountability. I would like to return those qualities to the White House."
