The Senate Intelligence Committee concluded there were no links between al-Qaida and Saddam Hussein. There were no links to terrorists, no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and no connection to 9/11. In short, President Bush stopped pursuing the murderer of 3,000 Americans in favor of attacking Iraq. That simply makes no sense.
I am glad that Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., voted against authorization for the use of force in Iraq. But even more important, Menendez has a plan to get out of Iraq. Meanwhile, the challenger, Thomas H. Kean Jr., can only offer a lame attack on Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who should have resigned when the prison scandal in Abu Ghraib was revealed.
New Jersey needs the real leadership that Menendez provides. |
