WASHINGTON (AFP) - Senator Robert Byrd -- one of the most outspoken critics of US policy in Iraq (news - web sites) -- welcomed calls for a congressional probe into US troops' not having found weapons of mass destruction there, and called into question President George W. Bush (news - web sites)'s "truthfulness" on the matter.
"What amazes me is that the president himself is not clamoring for an investigation," Byrd said from the floor of the Senate.
"It is his truthfulness that is being questioned. It is his integrity that is on the line," the West Virginia Democrat said.
"Yet he has raised no question, expressed no curiosity, about the strange turn of events in Iraq -- expressed no anger at the possibility that he might have been misled."
"How is it that the president who was so adamant about the dangers of WMD, has expressed no concern about the whereabouts of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?" Byrd said.
