Accuses Bush of using 9/11 for advantage


Of course he is!!!! Having a GOP convention in NYC of all places is not a coincidence. Especially after 9/11.
----------------------------

A fire-breathing John Edwards stormed into the city yesterday and accused President George W. Bush of steering the GOP convention to New York to "exploit" the city's suffering on Sept. 11, 2001, for political gain.

Edwards, speaking at Columbia University, said Bush is trying to give the impression he has stood by the city while stiffing cops and firefighters on Homeland Security funding.

"George Bush and his team, they think they're going to be able to exploit this tragedy right here at this convention for a few days," the North Carolina senator said, kicking off a five-day tour of the state in advance of the crucial March 2 Democratic primary.

"I can't believe he said that," said Kevin Madden, spokesman for the Bush-Cheney campaign. "They are playing politics with a national tragedy."

Edwards also used the appearance to challenge front-runner John Kerry to a debate "wherever and whenever."

Kerry spokesman Mark Kornblau said his boss was willing to debate "anywhere, anytime" but only if the two other remaining candidates, the Rev. Al Sharpton and Dennis Kucinich, aren't left out. Kerry led Edwards by more than 40 points in a statewide poll conducted a week ago, but that was before Edwards' stronger than expected showing in the Wisconsin primary.

I gotta give him props for having the balls to tell the truth about this.

Figures the Bush spokesman would accuse him of using 9-11 as a political tool when Bush has used it to justify everything from attacking other non-threatening sovereign nations to stripping us of our liberties to passing more free trade agrrements..

:rolleyes:

It's a no-brainer that Bush cynically took the murder of those innocent people,and used it as bank cheeck to do any damn thing he wants.
