"The axis of war"

Sen. Edward Kennedy called the Iraq war a "political product" marketed for electoral gain, in a speech in which he noted that President Bush "had nothing to say about Bin Laden or al-Qaeda" in his State of the Union address, less than five months after 9/11: "Why not? Because of an extraordinary policy coup. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Wolfowitz -- the Axis of War -- had prevailed. The President was changing the subject to Iraq."
