The subject line is a paraphrase of John Kerry. While the following is 'satire', the quotes are actual, they can be found at the links at site:

Democrats Deny Having Pre-War Intelligence
by Scott Ott
(2005-11-11) Democrats in Congress today rejected President George Bushs accusation that theyre trying to rewrite history, which shows they supported the Iraq war based on the same intelligence that drove his decision to send in the troops.
We had no pre-war intelligence, said Sen. John Kerry, History will show that none of the leading Democrats had substantial intelligence. Anyone who remembers what we did then knows that the president is making a baseless allegation. I think history will bear out my contention that we Democrats lacked the intelligence to make such an important decision.
The junior Senator from Massachussetts said he continues to faithfully support the troops who uselessly die for a lie in Iraq.
Our troops deserve to know that their elected leaders who voted to send them to war will remain firm in our conviction that we didnt know what we were doing at the time, Sen. Kerry said. Its important, on Veterans Day, to remember that our Democrat commitment to our military hasnt changed.
White House spokesman Scott McClellan repeated his categorical denial that the Bush administration ever manipulated anyones intelligence or ignorance.
