"It is regrettable that Senator Kennedy has chosen Veteran's Day to continue leveling baseless and false attacks that send the wrong signal to our troops and our enemy during a time of war. It is also regrettable that Senator Kennedy has found more time to say negative things about President Bush then he ever did about Saddam Hussein. If America were to follow Senator Kennedy's foreign policy, Saddam Hussein would not only still be in power, he would be oppressing and occupying Kuwait."
- Scott McClellan, White House Press Secretary
Sen. Kennedy On Iraq
Sen. Kennedy Said Saddam Hussein Was Developing WMDs: "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." (Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Remarks At The Johns Hopkins School Of Advanced International Studies, Washington, D.C., 9/27/02)
Sen. Kennedy: "Saddam Hussein Is A Dangerous Figure. He's Got Dangerous Weapons." (CBS' "Face The Nation," 10/6/02)
Sen. Kennedy Now Says The President Manipulated Facts About Iraq's WMDs: "'Instead of providing open and honest answers about how we will achieve success in Iraq and allow our troops to begin to come home,' Kennedy said, 'the president reverted to the same manipulation of facts to justify a war we never should have fought.'" (Deb Riechmann, "Bush Forcefully Attacks Critics Of The War In Iraq," Associated Press, 11/11/05)
Sen. Kennedy Opposed Removing Saddam Hussein From Kuwait. (S.J.Res.2, CQ Vote #2: Adopted 52-47: R 42-2; D 10-45, 1/12/91, Kennedy Voted Nay)
Sen. Kennedy Opposed Removing Saddam Hussein From Power. (H. J. Res. 114, CQ Vote #237: Passed 77-23: R 48- 1; D 29-21; I 0-1, 10/11/02, Kennedy Voted Nay)
Beyond horrible. Way.
What "political ambitions?" Old Kennedy will soon be facing judgement of another sort. No one lives forever here.
George Bush believes in doing everything "decently and in order". Now is the right time for letting the fur fly.
WHAT A PUKE!
Wasnt george Bush once a Cheerleader? I would like to repeat one of the oldest cheers to Mr. Bush.
Hit em again, Harder Harder.
Hit em again Harder harder.
Dont let up hit em everyday, Bastards like Kennedy deserve to be exposed.
You forgot to add he came out of the Army a Private.
The speech was ok, but the rest of the "offensive" had better not consist solely of press releases. Who reads them except for pundits, FReepers and DUmmies, especially if the MSM decides not to cover it? And even when they do cover it, it would only be in the context of nasty Republicans trying to suppress dissent about the war. Since the main target of the defense has to be the people who don't normally pay attention to politics (since FReepers, by and large already know the truth and the DUmmies can't listen to reason even if it's sitting in their living room with dynamite strapped to its chest), they can't rely on the press to get the message out. The Administration needs to take a page out of Reagan's book, bypass the press and take it directly to the people. The offensive needs to occur every time an Administration is on a talk show, answers a question or gives a speech.
Unions ... Kennedy brings in alot of money to Massachusetts
But let's hope it continues,we know the Dem's are out to impeach Bush.
Red, there's more.
Kennedy then turns to a life of liberalism thinking that he can redeem himself and clear his conscious by being a big-daddy government type to people in need.
But it doesn't work. His liberalism only leads to creating more people in need.
Unable to face this failure, the icon politician then turns to alcohol binging and food gorging and even more liberalism.
All destined to fail the now fat, aging pol should admit once and for all to himself that he dunked that poor girl in the Oldsmobile, that he should stop torturing the good people of this country and that he should just go away.
Scott McClellan, White House Press Secretary
This is a good soundbites. Scott, if you keep doing this, you earn your current position!
I'm glad,but it must not stop,and the Republicans need to reign in McCain once and for all,he is nothing but trouble.
conscious --> conscience
Im pleased as well. A strong and forceful speech naming names. In addition, it went on at the end of the week news cycle so there are no heavy hitters to counter it. Just the usual boobs on Sunday morning like Hairplugs Biden and the rest of the Democrats who blame America First. Honest and reasonable americans will go into the holiday weekend hearing Bush's admonishment of Swimmer, et al..
Off topic ..
But are you watching Hardball ... Chrissy is tripping over himself saying the President said Saddam was behind 9/11
Even when when presented with FACTS .. Chrissy still won't admit the President never said that
Maybe McClellan has been lurking here too, and begging Dubya to let him redeem himself with the Freepers!!
We have been here before. The Democrats will now begin to cry about the incivility in Washington and say it is the President who is dividing the country.
They will say we need a leader who can bring the country together not one who will engage in petty politics, retribution, tit for tat.
The newspapers will do polls that show the American people are tired of the constant bickering and backbiting.
