Kennedy Calls for Troop Withdrawal in Iraq
The American military’s continued presence in Iraq is fanning the flames of conflict, and signals the need for a new detailed timeline to bring the troops home, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said Thursday.
“The U.S. military presence has become part of the problem, not part of the solution,” Kennedy said in remarks prepared for delivery at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies. “We need a new plan that sets fair and realistic goals for self-government in Iraq, and works with the Iraqi government on a specific timetable for the honorable homecoming of our forces.”
Kennedy said the first goal in the current situation should be for the United Nations – not the United States – to convene an international meeting to help the new government take shape and draft a constitution.
The United Nations? I think they have enough problems and have avoided Iraq for such a long period of time. I don’t believe the UN can be trusted to assist the Iraqi people in any manner.
And if it weren’t for the US military presence the people of Iraq would still be under the rule of a murdering tyrant and his regime. The United States has made it possible for the Iraqi people to create their own government and to hold an election – - I guess Teddy missed all the news articles about that.
Here we go with the UN again:roll: Have another drink Teddy!
I bet he always won in quarter bounce.
Time to weld shut the door to Teddy’s liquor cabinet.
gulp gulp gulp.
2-Do you think the veins in his nose help guide the quarter to the glass? He’s had decades to develop the right dents!
I will never forget the interview I watched. His current wife was so proud of the fact that she got him to cut down to 1 bottle of wine a night.:roll:
5:lol::lol: Oh that is rich!
I wonder if she did it by refusing to ride with him? I already saw what wine can do to K, and she’s a professional
8-:lol::lol:I just scared my cats with that laugh:lol::lol:
I think there is a reason the Kennedys don’t want those wind tunnels off their dock. God knows what one would find at the bottom of the ocean by their house.
Teddy was drinking up to six cocktails and 2 bottles of wine a night.
8- I wonder if K saw this lee:razz:
grrrr
Someone needs to stand up to this guy. What right does he have calling our military part of the problem?
12- He says what he thinks will get votes. There isn’t much to Teddy except his name. That shaking is just appalling.
May have to check out Dog Snot and see Geoffrey’s reaction to this.
It was meant in the best possible way
Now I need a smiley with flowers…
15- Talk to the cyber hand. You hurt K’s feelings!:razz: Ha and I will make your life miserable until tuesday evening!:razz:
How appropriate that it shows up in a thread concerning Teddy Kennedy:lol:
I’m scum.
I have a better idea why dont chapaquedic ted resign instead this liberal dipwad is acting so full of himself i mean he has been in their too long and its about time this fossel was put out to pasture instead of taking up a office that a better person could use:wink:
19- Reilly and I are advocates of age limits. I think you are right Snowy.
Kennendy, Kerry and BoKser, the 21st century KKK.
what was Sen. Kennedy’s “demand”?
i saw recommendations, but then, that’s his job.
for accuracies sake, could someone point it out to me?
btw, Republican Rep. James A. Leach of Iowa made the same recommendation.
also A Republican congressman who supported the invasion of Iraq said Tuesday that the United States should begin considering plans to bring the troops home.
Rep. Howard Coble of North Carolina said most of his constituents still support the war effort, but he said that support is being tested by continuing losses.
Congress seems to be the one with the morale problem.
A few years ago i sw chapaquedic ted with a bunch of small kids doing EENTSY WEENTYS SPIDER what next will he join up with a bunch of latter day hippies to sing AGE OF AQUARIUS? or GIVE PEACE A CHANCE?:razz:
speak of the devil, shiloh!
proves your point, today.
he’s a force of nature, no doubt.
Bet you feel like a f-ckin idiot now, Teddy, you fat bloated Chowda eatin Bastard!
His whole speech surved just one purpose and that was to give Solace to the Enemy. He and most other liberals of his ilk would rather see Iraq fail just to see Bush fail. When we win in Iraq, then America wins, and Bush wins and these goddamn liberal mutherf-ckers just can’t support their president and their Country, even if philosophies differ, they root for the terrorist! You liberals are scum. You have no Patriotism. I hope that there is a special fire being stoked for all of your secularist asses down in Hell!
“Just as in our country, flag burning and pornography distribution are the most sacred of forms of protected speech, so in Iraq legitimate car-bombings and beheadings must be protected as political expression,” said Mr. Kennedy. “The Bush administration is clearly trying to deny these Iraqis, and their foreign guests, their basic civil rights. This is the most insidious brand of cultural and religious discrimination.”
#21 was not by me.
Ted has been a bloated, drunken, ethically-challenged ass for years. That led to my nickname for him “ChapaTed Kennedy”.
But he has now crossed over the line, actively providing aid and comfort to the enemy by providing propaganda value and openly trying to undermine the work of our President. He is a damned traitor, now ChpaTraitor Ted. He should be arrested and inmprisoned for the suration of the war on terror.
The Kennedy (bootlegger) fortune, long protected from the tax policies ChapatTraitor has advocated by a Trust, should have that trust nullified and be immediately subject to the same taxation that ordinary Americans endure.
