Khomeini. His terrorists have killed thousands, including 240 American Marines, yet George Bush supported selling arms to Iran. Bush said he was out of the loop, but he attended 15 meetings on the arms deal. And the sworn testimony of Bush's chief of staff proves that despite what Bush says, he was deeply involved. Bush has now changed his story nine times. Doesn't a candidate who campaigns on foreign policy experience owe us an honest answer? Thanks for watching.
