Stop the politics, it's making me dizzy!

Isn't it amazing that two politicians can both speak the truth and the public still doesn't know what to believe?! Here is the situation:

Once again our politicians in Washington who are "dedicated to bi-partisan politics" are hurtling boulders at each other regarding the war in Iraq.

Vice President Dick Cheney was quoted yesterday as saying, "Some of the most irresponsible comments have come from politicians who actually voted in favor of authorizing the use of force against Saddam Hussein, These are elected officials who had access to the intelligence materials. They are known to have a high opinion of their own analytical capabilities."

Outspoken (current) opponent to the war (he may change his mind later, we don't really know) John Kerry responded by saying, "That is just plain, flat, not true, we did not see the same intelligence and I challenge the vice president, I challenge him to answer the fundamental questions from the facts."

Stop the spinning please, I'd like to get off...

Who lied? Neither. Cheney spoke the truth when he said, "These are elected officials who had access to the intelligence materials." And Kerry spoke the truth when he said, "we did not see the same intelligence." A brilliant spin by Kerry. Answering "I didn't see it" to "You had access to it" implies that he didn't really have access. Truth is, he did and he couldn't be bothered to view it. Why? The intelligence had nothing to do with it, it was a political move. The atmosphere of the country was to hit Iraq and hit 'em hard. So that's how they voted. It was just before an election. If you didn't vote to go to war you were branded as unpatriotic! Now the atmosphere has slid to an anti-war majority, so what do the panderers do? They switch their views as well! They claim purposeful misleading! It doesn't matter that he had access, he never read it!

What responsibleible leadership! I can't wait for this man to run for president again!

But, as you all know, this is just my opinion.
