WASHINGTON -- Iraq has become "George Bush's Vietnam," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said Monday, calling the president deceitful and for the first time comparing him to former President Nixon, who resigned in disgrace.
Saying that truth has become the biggest casualty of the Bush administration, Kennedy said Bush misled the public about the war, the economy, health care and education, eroding the nation's reputation at home and abroad.

Vietnam was Jack Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson's Vietnam.
Chappaquiddick was Teddy Kennedy's Vietnam.
Monica Lewinsky's thong was Bill Clinton's Vietnam.

Senator Kennedy is a complete disgrace. Our Country is at war with fanatics intent on destroying U.S.. Our Country was attacked. We are in the process of eliminating those threats. Senator Kennedy's remarks offer nothing more than
aid and comfort to our enemies. I regard Senator Kennedy as standing alongside and supporting our enemies after these most recent remarks of his today. I regard Senator Kennedy as an enemy as of today. I do not demand anything of Senator Kennedy. After today's remarks by Senator Kennedy, there is nothing he could do or say to ever change my feelings regarding him . I will just now dissmiss whatever Senator Kennedy says from now on until Hell Freezes over. If I see him start to say anything on the screen, I will walk away or turn the channel immediately away from him. May God Grant Forgiveness and Mercy on Senator Kennedy's Soul. I do not ever want to have anything to do with Senator Kennedy ever again, period. Hence, I forever will tune him out.

If Ted Kennedy prattling on about Bush's "credibility gap" is the best these clowns can do, I like our chances in November. That this fool is out there lecturing the ignorant masses on deceitfulness is the irony of all ironies.
Adulterer, drunkard, manslaughterer(is this a word), these are his most notable accomplishments.

Kennedy should be an expert on that since his boy Lyndon put 500,000 plus troops on the ground there before Republicans could regain the White House, but he isn't.
Kennedy is a Fonda wanna be. Nothin much lower than that, except whale stuff.

>> Iraq has become "George Bush's Vietnam," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said Monday
Funny he doesn't say that Vietnam itself was largely a Kennedy's doing -- his brother.

Ted Kennedy and Iran BOTH want to stifle democracy in Iraq.
"What the other news accounts left out was one significant, but well-established fact: Al-Sadr works for Iran. He is an Iranian agent. His authority comes from Iran."

Kennedy uses the words "deceitful" and "truth"? Since when did he become pious and truthful? He still hasn't owned up to doing the breaststroke to get away from a drowning date. It truly is no wonder that Americans have lost so much faith in their government when the likes of this guy keep getting reelected.
Vietnam is Kerry's Oldsmobile. Or something.

Did Kennedy say that while stumbling out of some Georgetown bar at 2:15 a.m. LOL
BTW, any predictions on when his head explodes?

What the Democrats don't understand is that the Islamist fundamentalists declared War on us almost 25 years ago when they stormed the US Embassy in Tehran.
We can't stop the war because we didn't start it.
However, we can choose where we fight the war. And I would much rather have them fight the war in Afghanistan and Baghdad than in Chicago, Oklahoma City, or St. Louis.
And I would much rather the terrorists fight our soldiers than have them blow up our trains, buses, and cafes.

I hope the libs get louder,more shrill,they'll see a landslide they won't believe.
"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."
John Stuart Mill

The irony in all this is that Teddy the white whale accuses Bush of doing everything that Bubba did do while he was in office. He just got the names wrong. Lots of elder Dems seem to be loosing credibility during this election cycle.It's called desperately seeking a win they know they can't get if they played it straight.

I think the Democrat party is becomming almost as guilty as the terrorist for the destruction they cause. Is Teddy giving advice to our enemies?Someone with a little sense needs to control this nasty old man.
