Sen. Kennedy's Abu Ghraib Meltdown

Sen. Edward Kennedy’s Abu Ghraib Meltdown By E.F. Winslow 4-27-2005

Yesterday, Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D) released a statement commemorating the first anniversary of the revelations of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Never missing an opportunity for a partisan attack, he described the now infamous images of Charles Graner and Lynndie England with their prisoners had now been “seared into our collective memory” and laid the blame squarely on the shoulders of the Republican administration. “The Administration” Kennedy says, “left our soldiers, case officers, and intelligence agents in a fog of ambiguity. They were told to 'take the gloves off' without knowing what the limits were.” Despite the fact that nine comprehensive investigations have been carried out by the Pentagon, Kennedy apparently won’t be happy until he has the heads of some high level officials in a basket. ”We know about the actions that have been taken against Charles Graner and Lynndie England. But what about William Haynes, Alberto Gonzales, Jay Bybee, John Yoo, David Addington, Douglas Feith?” Kennedy goes so far as to misrepresent the situation to attempt to paint the worst possible picture of the U.S. military.

I believe it was July 16, 1969 the same day as Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. I could be a day off.

Why is it that I envision Ted Kennedy/Chris Dodd's Georgetown restaurant back room "waitress sandwiches" and Massachusetts beach intern parties as closely resembling that infamous Abu Ghraib nude pyramid?

BTW- Mary Jo Kopechne would have been eligible to start drawing social security benefits this year.

I may be wrong, but I bet even the MSM will ignore this embarrassment to America in general and the Democratic party in particular.

"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith,
but to become dominant. The Qur'an should be the highest authority in America,
and Islam the only accepted religion on earth
"

--Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998


Qur’an 8:12 “I shall terrorize the infidels.
So wound their bodies and incapacitate them
because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”

Qur’an 8:57 “If you gain mastery over them in battle,
inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them,
so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.”

Actually, I had more or less forgot about the whole episode. It was just another election year media ploy that failed.

July 19, 1969

Is this the anniversary date, mc? If so, I think we should inundate ol' Fat Ted's office with remembrances!
How this reprobate can stand up in the Senate and say the things he does is beyond comprehension!

I believe Armstrong walked on the Moon 1 or 2 days after.

Teddy is just too repulsive and repugnant for words. I think Athos over on LGF said it best:

"To say Teddy is a pantload is an insult to crap filling underwear."

Shouldn't Fat Teddy be 'drowning' himself in cheap liquor...

A well known conservative radio talk show host says Admiral Oldsmobile's drinking habits are not known and we should refrain from making such comments. I can't mention his name lest I be accused of bashing.

Apollo 11 landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, and Armstrong walked on it the same day. The mission started on 7/16. http://www.nasa.gov/vision/space/features/apollo11_35th.html

All in all, very convenient for Fat Ted (Drunken Murderer, PDRM).

Kennnedy should be housed in a cell with his new constituents(Terrorists) at Gitmo. Dead would be provided with an IV in his left arm attached to a continuous supply of scotch&water to his feeding tube until it is to be ordered removed by judge Queer(Geer). NSNR

I was thinking the same thing. Glad you posted the incident in the restaurant.

Kennedy wants to equate the embarrasment of enemy prisoners with the torture, beheadings, and other murders committed by the terrorists. His waitress sandwich is a much closer analogy.
