Top Republican slams Iraq war
From correspondents in Lincoln, Nebraska
August 19, 2004
A TOP Republican congressman has broken from his party in the final
days of his House career, saying he believes the US military assault
on Iraq was unjustified and that the situation there had deteriorated
into "a dangerous, costly mess".
"I've reached the conclusion, retrospectively, now that the inadequate
intelligence and faulty conclusions are being revealed, that all
things being considered, it was a mistake to launch that military
action," Representative Doug Bereuter of Nebraska wrote in a letter to
constituents.
"Left unresolved for now is whether intelligence was intentionally
misconstrued to justify military action," he said.
Mr Bereuter is a senior member of the House International Relations
Committee and vice chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

Are we supposed to be surprised at your ignorance?
You don't become the vice chairman of the House Intelligence Committee
unless you're considered "made".
Or are you claiming the Repugs will put any old yahoo in a position of
great importance?
I can believe that.
