My life and the occassional political rant.
Senator Ted Kennedy shows himself to be the elder statesman and advocates wisdom and diplomacy in Iraq in his speech to the John Hopkins School of International Studies. At the end of the speech he calls out Bush to "swallow his pride and end our country’s continuing failures in Iraq and in the eyes of the world."

Finally, a Democrat with a backbone. Perhaps there is a pulse in the party after all.

This war was a BIG mistake that BUSH made! These are the facts which are neither Republican or Democrat.


60-70% of Iraqis risked their lives today to tell you that you're wrong!

In other countries, Iraqis spent a lot of money and travelled 100s of miles to go to the polls and tell you that you're wrong.

I am now, spending next to nothing and travelling nowhere, but still taking the time to tell you, you are dead wrong!!!

The fact that many Iraqis voted has nothing to do with the fact that Iraq did not threaten us. We are not the world's liberator. We have not made America safer by the Iraq War! Saddam was a bad person but it was not our job to remove him with US Forces! That policy will not work because we create millions of new enemies and are looked at as the bad guy. In addition, we can not afford tax cuts and wars. In every other major war, we asked the people to pay higher, not lower taxes to pay for the added cost. Where is the $80 billion to come from that Bush is about to ask for? Why was that not part of the normal budget request? Did we not know of the war when the 2004-05 budget was prepared?

Bush never maskes an error or tells a lie. So I guess the Iraq War with its human and financial cost is a liberal story!

By your definition, nearly all military actions were wrong.

Explain why we invaded Europe in 1944? Because based on what you were saying, it was wrong too. Germany wasn't threatening us and by 1994 it was pretty obvious that Germany was no longer any sort of threat to the United States. And a lot more than 1,400 Americans died in that.

Could it be, just maybe, your hatred of Bush is clouding your views? Either that or your knowledge on history is imperfect.

Me thinks this clown doth protest too much.  He would abort the baby because the permit was not filed prior to conception.

You really are a sad sorry excuse for humanity.

With that headline?  Even in your liberal days, I dare say you did not support or endorse Kennedy.  He was an embarrasment then and now!  Must have been that fishing day you took!

Let me add to that South Korea. I spent a month in South Korea last year and found a very vibrant happy country. While those that did not want that Democratic country to survive, just across the boarder to the North, are starving.

Like a punch drunk fighter, the Libs love taking it on the chin.  And being wrong each and every time. This is not a new phenomenom, as I am closing on 50 and have yet to see them right.

Indeed. 55,000 Americans died in Korea.  What was the justification for us to go in there? North Korea was no threat to the US. Oh wait..that's right, Truman decided and he's a Democrat..

Or what about Vietnam? Kennedy/Johnson.  Bosnia and Kosovo? Clinton.  Do you see a pattern here? When it comes to sending our troops into lands that have don't seem to be very central to our self interest, it's usually Democrats. And amazingly, Senator Kennedy is mum on those things (even when it's his own family doing it).

But the US liberates Iraq after 10 years of sanctions, after its attempt to assasinate a former US President, after it's flaunting of the cease fire terms, after its very well publicized WMD programs (not stockpiles for you lefties who have problems discerning the two), after its funding of terrorism, after its regular shooting at US planes patrolling the no-fly zone, after it's massacres, after..after..after.  No, THAT needs to be protested against with zealous effort by the left.

I kind of wish it was Prs. Clinton who spearheaded action leading to free elections in Iraq, then my democrat friends would be able to celebrate today with the rest of the freedom loving world. Instead they seem to be busy making excuses for why they don't recognize freedom when it's blowing up their skirt (or pants, but that wouldn't go with the idiom). ;~D

If they never* threatened us just what would you call shooting at our Airforce and Naval aircraft on a daily basis then?

Yawn!!

Sorry, I can't hear you over the noise of Iraqis celebrating their freedom. How about joing in on the celebration instead of boring us all with your hate filled bull crap!!!!
