Des Moines – Senator and Presidential Candidate Chris Dodd released the following statement on Senator Clinton's vote for the Kyl-Lieberman amendment in light of the latest National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) report regarding Iran.
"As was the case with Iraq, the latest NIE makes it clear that this President is offering another false bill of goods to Congress and the American people in an attempt to build the case for war with Iran.
"The only difference this time is that we didn't start a disastrous war before we found out that the intelligence didn't hold up.
"Our experience should have shown us the danger in trusting this Administration as it marched to war. That is why I and many of my colleagues - at least many of those who bothered to vote - opposed the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment. Unfortunately, Senator Clinton instead chose to lend credence to the Administration's position.
"It's easy to say 'fool me once, shame on George Bush,' but when she's been fooled twice, shame on her."
