"What if Al Qaeda decides to time its next attack for the day we go to war?"

Know something you're not telling us, Teddy?

BTW, looks like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Your daddy ruined his political career with this same political posture. One can only hope you are on the same road, so to speak.......

"In 1938, Kennedy [This would be Papa Joe] reached the peak of his power when Roosevelt appointed him Ambassador to Britain, the first Irish-Catholic ever to hold the post. Kennedy felt sure that he was on the road to the presidency, but problems soon arose.

A staunch isolationist, Kennedy argued for the appeasement of Hitler and wanted the United States to stay out of any conflict that might occur between Britain and Germany. Needless to say, this line was not a big hit with the English people or with conservative leaders such as future Prime Minister Winston Churchill. Kennedy resigned under pressure in 1940, when war became inevitable.
