Anybody care to mention THREE words to Lard Ass: "Bay of Pigs"...

[Corin Stormhands]

Ted Kennedy: Bush Is No JFK

Thanks be to God.

[RichInOC]

Was he trying to insult Dubya or to compliment him?

[Darkwolf377]

So he's not having sluts and Dr. Feelgoods snuck into the White House between getting us deep in Vietnam, stumbling into the Bay of Pigs, and "facing down" Russia in public while secretly agreeing to removing missiles from Turkey?

He's no JFK? JFK was no "JFK"!

[NonValueAdded]

Lesse ... Cuban Missile Crisis, we lose the missile sites in Turkey. How many decades later does it take RR to put them back into Europe and end the cold war?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

Correct, Bush Is No JFK.

Ted, however, IS a Jack Daniels.

[Darkwolf377]

In his new book, "America Back on Track," his first since 1982

What took him so long to read another one?

[chpmass]

Ted Kennedy would be an embarrasment to JFK if he were alive today. JFK had his problems, but he was a fairly conservative, pro-American Democrat, not a Socialist.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

" Arguing that President Bush should have followed the strategy of diplomacy employed in the Cuban missile crisis "

At least President Bush went forward in what he said and what he meant and didn't leave troops stranded in a hostile beach.
Hey Teddy ? remember the Bay of Pigs disaster ?

[Aussie Dasher]

He wasn't reading it. He was coloring it in!

[ExcursionGuy84]

"Bay of Pigs"...

...vs. Afghanistan [no further explnations],
Iraq [getting better with age],
Libya [getting rid of their nuclear arms & ambitions]
& Indonesia [all the tsunami relief the US Navy brought in first-response].

[yarddog]

Yes, the media has given Kennedy and undesrved reputation for standing up to the Russians when in fact he lost his nerve. We did get the missiles out but like you said removed ours from Turkey as the price.

I can't recall who wrote it but one of his people said Khruschev phoned Kennedy and frightened him so much that Kennedy was literally trembling with fear.

[Darkwolf377]

"legitimizes a first strike, and elevates it to a core security doctrine."

Because Al Qaeda and Saddam (Kuwait) would NEVER think of a first strike.

And in the nuclear age, we should always wait for our enemies to strike first.

Too bad when his parents had Fatso's sister lobotomized they didn't take them up on that "2 for 1" deal.

P.S. Not that anyone needs to read this, but I personally know someone who works in politics in DC, and has seen Ted Kennedy dozens of times over the past few years, and he's been drunk EVERY time. (I asked three times "EVERY time?" and he said "Yup.")

Hmmm, Teddy I hate to bring this up but what was Preemptive about Vietnam? Were the Vietnamese about to take the west coast? Now I support why we went into Vietnam and had we been allowed to truly fight it would be a powerhouse like Korea by now but I have to say Vietnam was a preventative war (See Domino Effect). You should lay off the jack buddy it is starting to effect your memory. Lets also not forget they both cut taxes across the board and sought to drastically lower capital gains taxes. Though to my knowledge bush has not been sneaking in blonde's or dealers.

[ExcursionGuy84]

"Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam," Kennedy said.

C'mon, You never even served and You think you've got All the "right" answers???

You didn't even give the Chappaquiddick police a half-truthful statement.

[Nomorjer Kinov]

"Iraq is George Bush's Vietnam," Kennedy said.

Vietnam is JFK's Vietnam.

[starfish923]

Ted "HIC!!" Kennedy: a disgusting blimp piece of shit.....what a laugh.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Italy also.

Arguing that President Bush should have followed the strategy of diplomacy employed in the Cuban missile crisis

There was little diplomacy. We faced their ships down and they blinked first. It was anything but Diplomacy. We were on the verge of World War 3. Plain and simple.
