Sen. Ted Kennedy tells The Associated Press that the Iraq war was 'made up in Texas.'
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Under fire from Republicans on Friday, Sen. Edward Kennedy defended his harsh criticism of President Bush's policy on Iraq, in which he charged that the threat from Saddam Hussein was exaggerated by the administration for political purposes.
"This is a failed, flawed, bankrupt policy," the Massachusetts Democrat said on CNN's "Judy Woodruff's Inside Politics." "The American people want answers."
Kennedy spoke in the wake of an interview with The Associated Press in which he said the threat from Iraq was concocted to suit the administration's political agenda.
"There was no imminent threat," Kennedy told the AP. "This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud."

Thank God people are starting to wake up from there glazed over apathetic eyes.
Sen. Ted Kennedy is a chronic alcoholic, not much of what he says is taken seriously by anyone
There is a reason he never ran for national office or was recommended to serve on any national post - every Democratic president saw him as a liability. he still is... LIE-ablity!
Get used to us being in Iraq, we'll be there for more than another decade.
