Gitmo Troops Rebuke Ted Kennedy - Kennedy "got a stiff reaction from those home-state soldiers. newsmax.com ^ | Saturday, July 23, 2005 12:03 a.m. EDT Posted on 07/22/2005 10:24:17 PM PDT by InvisibleChurch Saturday, July 23, 2005 12:03 a.m. EDT Gitmo Troops Rebuke Ted Kennedy During his inspection tour of Guantanamo Bay this week, Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy got an earful from U.S. troops running the facility, who blasted Kennedy for his anti-war statements and similar comments by other Democrats. Soldiers from Kennedy's home state gave him "a piece of their mind," Pentagon officials told the Washington Times Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough. One official said that Kennedy "got a stiff reaction from those home-state soldiers. ... The troops down there expressed their disdain for that kind of commentary, especially comparisons to the gulag." Hawaii Democrat Daniel Akaka, who visited Gitmo along with Kennedy, reportedly got a similar reaction. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TOPICS: News/Current Events KEYWORDS: 1967DELTA88; GITMO; REBUKE; SOLDIERS; TEDKENNEDY -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Navigation: use the links below to view more comments. first 1-50, 51-100, 101-139 next last -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 posted on 07/22/2005 10:24:18 PM PDT by InvisibleChurch [ Post Reply | Private Reply | View Replies ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: InvisibleChurch One official said that Kennedy "got a stiff reaction from those home-state soldiers I bet Barney Frank's sorry he wasn't there. 2 posted on 07/22/2005 10:26:20 PM PDT by skip_intro [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: InvisibleChurch Ol' Teddy better hope some Cubans don't mistake him for a pontoon boat and paddle his ass to freedom. 3 posted on 07/22/2005 10:26:47 PM PDT by REDWOOD99 [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies ] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To: InvisibleChurch I can only say it's about time someone from his 'home' blasted him.
