Turd Kennedy Floats Again
Ted Kennedy ---a man whose only two qualifications to be a United States Senator were his facial resemblance to his older brothers and the money his Nazi-sympathizer of a father made from breaking the law--- is on the campaign trail as a surrogate for the extremely, and equally, unlikeable John Kerry.

Yesterday, this loathsome turd of a boghopper surfaced to read a speech to an assembly at George Washington University in which he claimed that the President's War for Iraq has made our country more vulnerable to a nuclear attack from al-Qaeda. (Emphases mine throughout.)

The President's handling of the war has been a toxic mix of ignorance, arrogance, and stubborn ideology. No amount of Presidential rhetoric or preposterous campaign spin can conceal the truth about the steady downward spiral in our national security since President Bush made the decision to go to war in Iraq. If this election is decided on the question of whether America is safer because of President George Bush, John Kerry will win in a landslide.

Enough time has now passed to make us sure of that verdict, beyond any reasonable doubt.

Right. Because in the space of three short years, George W. Bush has only begun an epoch-making transformation of the Muslim world by ridding it of two of its most brutal dictatorships; creating major realignments between us and Pakistan, Libya, and the countries of the Arabian Peninsula; killing or capturing thousands of terrorists and terrorist-sympathizers; and starting 50 million people on a path to democratic government. The President has also agreed to many new and far-reaching domestic changes in transportation security, law enforcement, and intelligence-gathering.

And we are less safe? Has Chappaquiddick Ted heard of another al-Qaedist attack on our shores in the past three years?

We all know that Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator. We've known it for more than 20 years. We're proud, very proud, of our troops for their extraordinary and swift success in removing Saddam from power. But as we also now know beyond doubt, he did not pose the kind of immediate threat to our national security that could possibly justify a unilateral, preventive war without the broad support of the international community. There was no reason whatsoever to go to war when we did, in the way we did, and for the false reasons we were given.

Does this rummy ever not lie? I guess it's to show how respectful the Kerrion are of our allies (and how much more "competent" they'll be at diplomacy once they're in) that they persistently refer to the War for Iraq as a "unilateral" war. In case you're a Democrat, that means that Kerry and Kennedy think that we are in Iraq alone ---and not with such "bribed and coerced" lackeys as Great Britian, Poland, Australia, and Italy.

But get another load of what Kennedy's saying: he is absolutely certain that our intelligence about Saddam's weapons of mass murder was wrong. But how does he know that? Did al-Jazeera tell him so? Does he happen to know that the men and material to make biotoxins and various poison gasses weren't smuggled into Syria? Even Lurch conceded back in April of this year that we "may yet find them."

Look, I want to make it clear: Who knows if a month from now, you find some weapons. You may. But you certainly didn't find them where they said they were, and you certainly didn't find them in the quantities that they said they were.

Blah, blah, blah, hedge, hedge, hedge... And, at any rate, when Kerry voted to authorize the war, what intelligence was he acting on? The same that the President was. That always manages to get forgotten, somehow.

Kerry and Kennedy have been wrong about Saddam and weapons of mass murder before. Remember during the Gulf War? They both voted against authorization ---and against a "real" coalition, too. Read it:

The Kennedy-Kerry position of waiting Saddam out did not prevail and soon after the Senate vote Saddam was ejected from Kuwait. But the war had also revealed something unexpected, a massive, clandestine, nuclear weapons program that had gone undetected by Western intelligence agencies and the International Atomic Energy Agency until after inspectors had entered Iraq.

On August 11, 1991, the Washington Post reported that:

International inspectors . . . unearthed one of the most important--and disturbing--finds of the post-Cold War era: a huge assembly line for the covert manufacture of equipment to make an Iraqi bomb.

Really? No foolin'?

So why is it that anyone should trust the judgement of these two clowns? "No pair," as Zell Miller said in New York:

has been more wrong, more loudly, more often than the two Senators from Massachusetts, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

Together, Kennedy/Kerry have opposed the very weapons system that won the Cold War and that is now winning the War on Terror.

So, keep on sending this lush out to stump for you, Lurch. It only reminds people of how very far to the Left you really are.
