7. Kennedy Says Iraq War a Political Product --AP

WASHINGTON -- The Iraq war was a "political product" marketed by the Bush administration to win elections, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., said in a speech Wednesday.

As a result, Kennedy said, Bush and the Republicans in Congress "put the state of our nation at risk, and they do not deserve another term in the White House or in control of Congress."

In remarks prepared for delivery before the Center for American Progress, a liberal advocacy group, Kennedy said the Bush administration's decisions to target Saddam Hussein, go to war in Iraq and transfer sovereignty to the Iraqi people have all been made for Republican political gain and timed to influence American elections in 2002 and 2004.

Kennedy said those decisions administration's march to war in Iraq has given Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida new life and made the war on terrorism harder to win.
