John F. Kerry accused President Bush (news - web sites) on Wednesday of misleading Americans about a spiraling crisis in Iraq (news - web sites), saying the president has not been honest about the strength of the anti-American insurgency and the diminishing chances of free and fair elections in January.
"The president has misled America about those weapons, about the intelligence, about the war," the Democratic presidential nominee said on the Don Imus show on MSNBC. "He's misled America about what we're achieving today and what is happening on the ground in Iraq."
As part of twin strikes on Bush's credibility on the war and the economy, Kerry said the president's failures in Iraq have complicated efforts to bring U.S. troops home sooner and have created large swaths of Iraq "where there are terrorists where they were not before."
