17. He did not say "Everybody"
"Why is it that those in Congress have waited until now to question the intelligence, to question the lack of postwar planning, to question the skyrocketing costs of this war?"

The phrase Those in congress even implies SOME and not all. Otherwise he would have said all of congress. He is calling attention to those in congress who voted yes and are NOW asking the questions, and I think it's quite clear to any native english speaker.

Don't put words in his mouth just because you don't like him.
