January 27, 2005 Ted Kennedy Wants America to Cut and Run in Iraq Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy wants the United States military to set a timetable to pull the troops form Iraq. In prepared remarks Kennedy said that the American military's continued presence in Iraq is "fanning the flames of conflict" and he sees a need to retreat and surrender by setting a detailed timeline to bring the troops home. AP: 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." Here's a memo to Ted Kennedy: Iraq is not inside a car that has just driven off a bridge in Chappaquiddick. While many still debate to this day that Ted Kennedy has a history of bailing out when facing these kinds of life and death decisions there is no chance that America will choose the path of leaving the scene as Kennedy did in 1973. America will not bail and leave the Iraqi people stranded and with little or no hope for survival. Thankfully, America is now run by the adults instead of the likes of Ted Kennedy. Iraq is not Mary Jo Kopechne. This country will not slink away while the chance for freedom and democracy in Iraq struggles for oxygen and sinks to the bottom. Ted Kennedy is welcome to choose to run away, but asking American patriots to join in his cowardice is a dead issue. *Correction: Kennedy left the scene in 1969, not 1973. Hat tip, Scott.
