Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry is accusing President George W. Bush of abandoning the hunt for Osama bin Laden and deceiving Americans about the war in Iraq.

Kerry, who spoke Friday in Indianola, said Bush has tried to shut down the CIA unit that was hunting bin Laden but the Senate voted to keep it going.

Earlier in the day Bush said the hunt will continue until bin Laden is captured.

But Kerry questions why an overwhelming majority of American troops are in Iraq instead of Afghanistan, where bin Laden and other terrorists had trained.

Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, said he is considering another run at the White House in 2008. He said voters have seen the Bush administration lead a sluggish response to the Hurricane Katrina destruction and persist with an increasingly unpopular war in Iraq.
