novapsycheKennedy 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."
