WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Edward Kennedy led Democratic opposition to the nomination of Condoleezza Rice for secretary of state Tuesday, using her confirmation debate to criticize the Iraq war.

Kennedy, D-Massachusetts, told his colleagues that Rice, the national security adviser, should not move to the State Department despite his belief that President Bush should be allowed to choose his Cabinet. "I intend to oppose Condoleezza Rice's nomination. There is no doubt that Dr. Rice has impressive credentials, her life story is very moving, and she has extensive experience in foreign policy," Kennedy said. "Dr. Rice was a key member of the national security team that developed and justified the rationale for war, and it's been a catastrophic failure, a continuing quagmire. In these circumstances, she should not be promoted to secretary of state."

“If confirmed, Rice would become the first African-American woman and second woman to become secretary of state.”

Oh oh... now the qualifier 'if confirmed' shows its ugly head.

To a Democrat, openly allied with our terrorist enemies, this is indeed a catastrophe.

Obvious headline but for the bias of the MSM:

"Sen. Kennedy opposes history-making rise of an African-American woman to key position of power and influence".

I like your addition to the headline. LOL

Senator Spitball, it's killing you isn't it? Iraqi's are about to have elections, Bush was re-elected, and a brilliant woman who happens to be a minority will become the most powerful woman in the world.

Kinda hard looking at the legacy that never was for the Kennedy family, isn't it?

Well, yeah. Catastrophic to Kennedy's dream of America beholden to some world government.
