Senator Ted Kennedy, on the floor of the United States Senate today:
"Protection of the Iraqi people from the cruelty of Saddam had become one the adminsitration's last remaining rationalizations for going to war....So it is human rights that the adminsitration turned to in order to justify its decision to go to war. On December 24, 2003, the day Saddam was captured President Bush said that 'for the vast of Iraqi coitizens who wish to live as free men and women this event brings further asssurance that the torture chambers and secret police are gone forever.' On March 19, 2004 President Bush asked 'Who would prefer that Saddam's torture chambers still be open?' Shamefully we now learn that Saddam's torture chambers reopened under new management, U.S. management."

Lileks, appearing on my radio program, branded Kennedy as a "bloviating zepplin," which he surely is. But he is also a leader of the democrtas, second only to John Kerry presently, the brain behind Kerry, his sponsor. As the brother of the slain American icon, his words will travel around the globe in an instant, a ratification of every jihadist fever.
Every journqalist with a pen and a microphone shopuld be
rushing towards John Kerry, Hillary and every other
Democrat of consequence to demand a response to Kennedy's
outrage. Silence will not work. But silence will be the
response because Kennedy spoke from the soul of the
Democratic Party, a less veiled thrust than Levin's
charges yesterday. He is genuinely speaking on behalf of
Democratic leadership elites. He believes this.
I will not bother to rebut this idiocy. It needs no rebuttal, anymore than Holocaust deniers need rebuttal. But I will send people to www.georgewbush.com to help the president keep America on a course of victory, to www.johthune.com with an admonition to help unseat Ted Kennedy's "leader," or to www.nrsc.org to contribute broadly to the repudiation of the Democratic Party's venomous, hyper-partisanship during war.

If John Kerry wins the presidency, or Tom Daschle leads
the Senate democrats back to a majority, I believe we will
lose the war on terror. It is that simple. The stakes are
indeed that high. |
