WASHINGTON (Where the heck has he been? In a drunken haze? (I answered my own question)
At least 12,000 U.S. troops should leave at once, Kennedy said, "to send a stronger signal about our intentions to ease the pervasive sense of occupation."
Teddy the Lesser, foreign policy expert. That's right Teddy...let's help further destabilize the situation and endanger the US troops on the ground. Damn...that's exactly what you pushed for in Vietnam. And look how many more soldiers and marines died because of it you treasonous pig?
The Massachusetts Democrat, who opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq, became the first senator to lay out a plan for Bush to start withdrawing troops a day after the Pentagon warned lawmakers that strikes by insurgents may increase after Sunday's elections.
What's he running for...lifeguard at the Chappaquiddick??
Besides ending its military presence, Kennedy said the United States must stop making political decisions in Iraq and turn over full authority to the United Nations to help Baghdad set up a new government.
Is this the whiskey talking or is he really that stupid?
He said an international meeting led by the United Nations and Iraq should be convened immediately in Iraq or elsewhere in the Middle East to start that process.
Will it be as effective as the meetings held for the Israel-Paleo "peace" process, or the Sudan?
"We now have no choice but to make the best we can of the disaster we have created in Iraq," Kennedy in a speech to the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. "The current course is only making the crisis worse."
Ted is f***ing idiot and is endangering the lives of soldiers and marines who have sworn oaths to protect his sorry a**.
He said the indefinite presence of U.S. troops is "fanning the flames of conflict" in what has become "a war against the U.S. occupation."
Talk to the troops you drunken skunk. Talk to the troops.
The Republican National Committee criticized the Senate's leading liberal for delivering "such an overtly pessimistic message only days before the Iraqi election."
He's guilty of sedition and treason...Vietnam redux.
"Kennedy's partisan political attack stands in stark contrast to President Bush's vision of spreading freedom around the world," RNC spokesman Brian Jones said.
What he said.
Kennedy emphasized that Bush must also make it clear that the United States does not intend to have a long-term presence, and announce that it will dramatically reduces its embassy in Baghdad, which is the largest in the world. While many in the Republican-led Senate have expressed dismay as the death toll of U.S. troops stands at more than 1,400, Kennedy is the first to lay out a plan for a troop withdrawal, his office said.
The same kind of cowardly plan that left Mary Jo in an overturned car to die.
In the Republican-led House of Representatives, 24 Democrats this week introduced a resolution calling on Bush to begin an immediate pullout.
Once again democraps pushing politics over the welfare of the troops in harm's way. Vietnam Protests Redux.
The administration has refused to offer a timetable for pulling troops, and Bush on Wednesday said the United States would remain until the new government can defend itself.
We lay out the timetable after we eliminate the bad guys and give the fledgling democracy a chance to survive.
Democrats like Kennedy have been the strongest critics of the war but many Republicans are also concerned, in part because Iraq is costing more than $1 billion a week and has put a great strain on America's military and its budget.
Yes, it has. But we are there, and to win anything less than complete and total victory would be a greater travesty than Vietnam. Walking away would embolden the islamo-cockroaches. Ultimately they would spread their infection to the rest of the Middle Eastern governments, and threaten the Western World.
| I dunno. I know that Pres. Bush has been a bit overwhelmed and undertaffed lately, while the good senator was expediting his Cabinet nominees, and I'm delighted that the senator also found time to help draft our foreign policy without even being asked. In fact, the Senate needs a few more go-getters like Kennedy. |
