Kucinich: Disclosure that Administration Manufactured Crisis to Invade Iraq no Surprise


WASHINGTON - March 22 - Disclosures yesterday and today by former Bush Administration counter-terrorism advisor Richard A. Clarke that the President and his team were intent on invading Iraq and deposing Saddam Hussein come as no surprise, said Congressman and Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich.

"The crisis was manufactured," Clarke writes in his book, "Against All Enemies."
