Kennedy Compares Bush to Richard Nixon

Iraq has become George W. Bush's Vietnam, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said Monday, slamming the president as deceitful and, for the first time, comparing him to former President Nixon, who resigned in disgrace.

Saying that truth has become the biggest casualty of the Bush administration, Kennedy said Bush misled the public about the war, the economy, health care and education, eroding the nation's reputation at home and abroad.

"As a result, this president has now created the largest credibility gap since Richard Nixon," Kennedy said in a speech at the Brookings Institution, a think tank. "He has broken the basic bond of trust with the American people."

Bush Needs to Hear, Not Shun, World Critics

"The government seems to forget the soldiers who died or who were disabled," complains Andy McNab, a veteran of Britain's elite Special Air Service. "Politicians said they were willing to pay the blood price for their decisions, perhaps because they didn't have to pay with their own kids' blood."

In addition, foreign observers do not share Bush's optimistic view of progress in the war. The administration might see Iraq as a fledgling democracy, but others fear a country on the verge of violent disintegration. "There is a danger of an ethnic war in Iraq," Jordan's King Abdullah warned during a recent visit to Turkey. "Iraq's neighbors cannot tolerate such a conflict."

[Middle Eastern countries] are not alone in their misgivings. Indeed, the Bush administration's sunny portrayal of the war on terror is leading others to wonder whether it has become, in a word, delusional.
