WASHINGTON (AP) -- Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy says President Bush is wrong to try and silence his Iraq-war critics by calling them defeatists.
Kennedy says Americans understand that for America's security, we need to win in Iraq. However the Democratic lawmaker said Bush should acknowledge that the Iraq war has emboldened the terrorists, and increased their ranks.
Bush spoke to the nation last night about the war. The president said that despite setbacks, not only can the United States win the war in Iraq -- we are winning the war.

Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy says President Bush is wrong to try and silence his Iraq-war critics by calling them defeatists. The truth always hurts.

The brain dead defeatist is lost in his own hot gas, how much bolder does one get than plowing jets filled with passengers into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon and whatever other building that other plane was headed for.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy says President Bush is wrong to try and silence his Iraq-war critics by calling them defeatists. Anti-american, terrorist-supporting, socialist-loving, dictator-appeasing scumbags is closer to the truth.

If the name fits ... must since the one it fits best is first to whine.

Ted Kennedy - ('Its unfair to call us liberals, it's unfair to call us irresponsible, it's unfair to call us traitors') Manure by any other name still smells.

Typical Kennedy. Translation: "Please tell the American people that the dems are right and you are wrong on everything" (rolling eyes) Also typical of libs: "Let's ignore the repeated terrorist 'Fatwas' calling for Jihad against the USA since 1998..the terrorists have every right to kill our people..it is Bush's fault."
Yawn....

.....the Iraq war has emboldened the terrorists, and increased their ranks. And turning tail and running would teach them a lesson they would not soon forget?
Wringing our collective hands and trying to "understand" terrorists would prevent any more attacks on American interests?
Tea and crumpets, with an abundance of "please" and "thank you" will get information out of terrorists quicker and more reliably than waterboarding?
My tagline is old but always on target.

However the Democratic lawmaker said Bush should acknowledge that the Iraq war has emboldened the terrorists, and increased their ranks. Pot. Kettle. Black.
This is the ultimate in unmitigated gall from Kennedy, whose own treasonous statements have built a thousand car bombs.
