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."

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.
Kennedy is a blow hard!
Ted going apoplectic and puffy and red. better watch that main artery.
Kennedy keeps bringing up water boarding.
HE PREFERS A CAR IN THE LAKE METHOD.
that's cruel. lol!
Kennedy: Rice fakes drownings to mimic my real drowning!
KENNEDY IS CRUEL.
I agree with you on that.
Wonder how the man can sleep at night?
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".

Don't let it get to your head, Teddy.
BOOZE....
Kennedy helped engineer Kerry's catastrophic defeat.
HE'S ALSO TRYING TO DO THE SAME FOR THE US IN IRAQ.
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.
Ted is an embar ass ment.
