In his speech, Edwards called on Bush to step forward, as Blair had done in London, and take personal responsibility for the intelligence failures that resulted in war.


A report of a British official inquiry concluded that Iraq had no stockpiles of useable chemical or biological weapons before the war and that British intelligence relied in part on "seriously flawed" or "unreliable" sources.


"Tony Blair didn't run from the report, he didn't try to not acknowledge it," Edwards said. "Instead, what Tony Blair said was 'I take full responsibility for the mistakes ..."


"What we need in the White House is somebody who has the strength and courage and leadership to take full responsibility and be accountable — not only for what's good but for what's bad," Edwards said. "That's what John Kerry will be."
