George Bush led the Terrorism Task Force, which said America would never sell arms for hostages. As he was saying those words, Bush approved selling arms to the Ayatollah. When the scandal broke, Bush said he was out of the loop or missed the meeting. But the sworn testimony of Bush's own chief of staff seems to directly contradict Bush. Bush has changed his story nine times. Doesn't a candidate who campaigns on foreign policy experience owe us an honest answer?
