U.S. President George W. Bush will use a Veterans Day speech on Friday to fight back against Democratic charges that the White House misused intelligence to gain support for the Iraq war, administration officials said.

For a while now I've gotten the sense that this administration forgot the old adage that a lie left unanswered becomes accepted as truth.
