Bush defends decision to go to War in Iraq on Veterans Day

Pres. Bush argued that while his critics can critcise him on the conduct of the war that it is irreponsible to accuse him of misleading the American people on the pre-war intelligence which led to that decision. He said that the congress saw the same information that he did and that congress authorized him to use force if necessary. He also stated that other western intelligence agencies including Britain, France and Russia agreed with our assessment. This also includes that a report exonerated British PM Tony Blair of exagerating the intelligence information.
