Congressman McDermott criticized Bush on Iraqi soil – on Saddam’s dime
This story has erupted in the blogosphere: Saddam Hussein’s money paid for Democrat Congressmen McDermott, Bonior, and Thompson to visit Iraq back in October 2002. That’s when McDermott made his controversial remarks where he urged us to give Hussein the benefit of the doubt but to mistrust Bush because, to McDermott, Bush was willing to deliberately mislead Americans in order to justify war with Iraq.
