Ted Kennedy on Surge in Iraq

[JohnAdams198805]

well said ted in fairness to ted kennedy he did a lot to bring peace to northern ireland along with bill clinton he did a lot to bring peace anyhow more then george w bush has done

[Vertigo2903]

great speech

[alienhuman]

Damn, I am glad there are no more Kennedys.

[sapher2020]

Ted/John/Robert Kennedy = Wealthy Liberal Pacifist Scum

[critter505]

...and it worked murderer, ha!

[MiamiIndianTribe]

How will republicans defend how they denied health care, stem cell research, intolerance towards other races while all the while going to Church and pretending to know Christ on judgment day

[EpicDude86]

Not that I'm a fan of the Iraq War or Bush but hindsight shows that Masshole was wrong again.

[kevinbonghits]

Obama is a better commander and chief that Bush by far, but he is still green, but that doesnt matter as long s we have a good sec of defense, and Robert Gates is a very ,very experienced and way qualified man, Rumsfailed doesn't even hold a burned out candle to him, we are all fucking lucky that we have GATES RUNNING MILITARY OPERATIONS GUYS ! a very brilliant military mind indeed and methodical, Bush chose well i cant deny haha

[kevinbonghits]

RadarGuidedVermin is great for all of us, he teaches how not to be, lol, always lying through his tooth,probably thinks scums like Rush.Limbaugh ,David.Koresh , Tom Delay ,Tim McVeigh are heros,an IQ so low and a hatred mixed with it that he may even be on the dumb ass Obama birther movement ( LOL those dumb asses really crack me up ) the definitions are clear, Liberal = To think outside the box,to care about others besides yourself(WE)

Conservative = To care about only self (Us and them)

[kevinbonghits]

Fuck you you dumb Tim Veigh cocksucker, I was part of that surge and it worked very well , I am proud to be a part of the success,however being in Iraq in the 1 st place was the mistake,this part is the only success story of Bushs military choices,otherwise it was a sham, we should have removed Sadam and left it at that, and focused on Afganistan, Iraq war did kill terrorists but it was like operation Roach Motel as us special op boys called it , and the secterian issues are unresolved still

[kevinbonghits]

I feel liberated that I can speak my mind against the neocon right wing fringe machine without wondering whether or not the BIG BROTHER BUSH GOVT was going to kick my door in for speaking the factual truth,I cn set my M 16 down now because Obama is not after my gun he is after hate crime wing nut mongers ,which at that point will strengthen the 2 nd Amendment, when we have the existing citizens who deserve a concealed weapons permit, those who respect society, and abide laws.

[RadarGuidedVermin]

More stupid drivel from brain-dead idiots like Kevinbonghits. The surge worked and freed an entire country from a brutal dictatorship.  Kennedy is obviously NOT for freedom or the little guy.

[EpicDude86]

I kind of agree with your rants and I damn sure appreciate your service, but Neocon is a term to describe a type of liberal (left wing). Read up on it. I think what you meant to say was Modern Conservatives.

[kevinbonghits]

I still wont ignore the possible rumor of Dick full well knew about the existing terrorists training ,didnt know ,when,where or what they were going to attack but nonetheless waiting for some attack in order to launch the war agenda. In fact I weigh heavily on that theory,us special ops boys hear ALOT of info, lol, Kudos for TED, DEATH TO DICK ! REAGANOMICS IS DUMBSHIT MATH, AND IRAQ WAS A WMD BS SHAM SCAM FOR OIL GREED AND DEFENSE CONTRACTOR PROFITS.

[RadarGuidedVermin]

Stop crying, you pussy.

[kevinbonghits]

If anyone gets busted it should be Dick only but even that is not a good idea,as much as George was a horrible president,he wasnt evil like Dick and should not be charged so long as he testifies honestly,I say leave George alone and fry Dick but better yet do the truth commission, make it public, and leave it at that so we can learn how to form a more perfect union almost thanking our former vice pres and pres for making mistakes for us to learn on,making shame the punishment.

[kevinbonghits]

I was in Iraq ! heard alot of rumors ,seen alot of shit,but I promise you that Dick.Cheney was behind alot of it, and blindly got George to do his biding the 1 st four years of his presidency,but then Bush said no to most of Dicks neocon agenda from Iran invasion,North Korea invasion,tried to hide the wiretap laws from congress but George said no to Dick, so yeah man this is no rhetoric, Dick commited these crimes,but yeah we should let it all rest and let it be public for lessons sake

[BamaChris]

President Bush and the generals actually asked Teddy for advice on the war. After all, they heard that he had experience in crossing bridges bombed.

[xj2yzz]

Ted knew how to drive off them.

[bluethundershark]

Ted Kennedy, what a dick

[Dealit707]

The troop surge in Iraq has been a TOTAL success. Even the empty suit called Obama admits that it's has turned the tide in Iraq. Once again, Kennedy the American hating socialist that he is, was dead wrong.

[Azooka1234]

The troop surge has been a total sucess?! Why don't you tell that the over 4,600 people who had to DIE in Iraq so that your corrupt pals Bush and Cheney can line their pockets with the money they made off the war? Your unelected pal, George W. Bush, has an approval rating of 23%... Who's dead wrong now? Are we all so misguided? You people are all hypocrites, and you sicken me! You proudly boast you are pro-life... But you are also pro-war, pro-death penalty, and pro torture? HYPOCRITES!

[Azooka1234]

Another fine example of right-wing hypocrisy- You guys are always saying how you want to "bring democracy to Iraq," However, what you fail to mention is that Bush was elected in 2000 by arbitrarily disinfranchising over 90,000 African-American voters in Florida!Half of us vote, and you are going to chip away at the ones we've got?! What kind of "democracy" is that?!

You say how you want to "make Iraq safe for freedom," yet this administration has infringed on free speech time and time again!

[Dealit707]

"this administration has infringed on free speech time and time again? Please give examples of this.

The first part of your reply is so inanely convoluted, I can't understand what you're even talking about.

Try to calm down, gather all the common sense you can muster, and give me a coherent, well thought out, and above all, a factually based reply.......and please, no crazy liberal rantings. Have a nice day!

[Azooka1234]

Infringing on free speech? FISA? Warrantless wiretapping? Telecom immunity? Where the hell have you been the past 8 years? Then again, could we really expect anything better from the man who "won" in 2000 by disinfranchising 90,000 African-American voters in Florida? And you have the audacity to defend him? SHAME!

You couldn't understand what I was saying? Or you just didn't want to adress what I said? Re-read it, and then get back to me on that pal!

[Dealit707]

I'm a staunch believer in the concept of free speech, and unless you're an anti American terrorist planning on the destruction of American citizen's, you have nothing to fear.

In your case I would recommend that the government put a permanent wire tap on your phone as well as all your activities. You've made it very clear that you are a true hater of America and our right to protect our way of life. My advice to you........Move to France you piece of socialist crap.

Have a nice day Asshole.

[Azooka1234]

You say you're a "staunch believer in free speech, UNLESS..."

Evidently you don't fully understand what free speech. Free speech is not contingent on what you're saying. This is not what our founding fathers intended!

You are the Ameica-hater, because you clearly have disdain for OUR constitution!

George Washington warned us in his farewell adress: "Beware the false patrtiots who usurp our values, and at the same time wrap themselves in our flag." 200 years later it still rings true!

[dts61570]

How dunb do you have to be to mis-quote someone when it is written right above your own post?

[Azooka1234]

"How dunb do you have to be..."

You failed to correctly spell "dumb." I need not say any more...

[Azooka1234]

The surge in Iraq has been a total success? Why don't you try telling that to the friends and family members of the over 4,600 people who had to DIE in Iraq so your corrupt pals Bush and Cheney could line their pockets with the money they made off the war?

What part of that was "convoluted?" Are you avoiding the truth? Or are you just a moron, like George Bush is?

You cannot be pro-life and pro-war, pro-death penalty, and pro-torture... Well you could, but that would make you a HYPOCRITE!

[Dealit707]

Freedom is NOT free, and the brave soldiers that took up the fight, bravely understood what answering the call of freedom entailed, something a moonbat liberal like yourself has no obvious clue about, being a self absorbed idiot. I'm not pro war, but I do realize that there is evil in this world, and it must unfortunantly be meet with force. You are a fool.

[Azooka1234]

I'm un-american because I oppose the war in Iraq? That's calling a MAJORITY of Americans un-american!

Your unelected pal, George W. Bush now has an approval rating of 23%! Are we really all so misguided!?

My advice to you... If you really want to go and "support our troops," why don't you go and fight in Iraq, you chickenshit coward!

Now run along, I'm certain you have alot of things to do... I sure hope I haven't made you late for your David Duke fan club meeting?

[Dealit707]

Wow!! You are so angry. Typical moonbat on the far left. If you don't fully agree with them, it drives them fucking crazy. LMFAO

btw; Why no mention of the Dem controlled Congressional ratings. They're so low, I don't think they even have a rating, let's say their rating is 0% to 2%, that should be about right.

Have a nice day.....dipstick, and do something about that anger issue, it's bad for your health.

[Azooka1234]

HAHA! I JUST saw your profile page! Are you seriously 58 years old?! I figured you were a kid! Unbelievable. You've lived for over half a decade, and are still every bit as stupid and ignorant as you were the day you were born. I didn't think it possible!

By the way, who said I approved of the job of the Democrat controlled congress? Well, I don't. Pelosi and Reid are spineless figureheads who keep saying how they oppose the war, but lack the cojones to stand up to this administration!

[Azooka1234]

Um. I meant to say over half a CENTURY! Big difference there. Intellectually though, you have only been around for half a decade. I never cease to be amazed at the ignorance of others. The surge has been a total sucess?! Incredible. 58 years old, and I bet you I could find some not particularly gifted 4th graders more intelligent than you are. Just incredible.

[hamace]

Your smart who has oversight of the president? Is the President a sovereign position? NO! Americans are so gullible. You have been convinced to turn on your own country.

[Azooka1234]

Can you imagine Pelosi and Reid agressively pursuing the crimes of GWB in the same way Newt Gingrich and his pals did to Clinton in the 90's? GOD what an ass that Gingrich made of himself! He spent 5 entire YEARS trying to dig up some dirt on Clinton, and the best he came up with was some extramartial affair. Then he has the audacity to get all holier than thou, when he was doing the exact same thing! HA! You're all hypocrites!

[Azooka1234]

This is the same man by the way, who is now saying that we need to "move past partisan politics..." Imagine! During his tenure as speaker of the house, he presided over the most partisan congress ever! When a republican f*cks up, it's time to be non-partisan... When a democrat does it though, we'll destroy him! Fair?

By the way, I don't have an anger issue. I do however, have an idiot issue... You're free to leave at any time. Furthermore, YOU responded to MY posting, not vice versa. THANKS!

[hamace]

ANy wrong doing put on Bush is actually on Congress. Bush cannot write laws. No one was ever tortured just interrorgated. Only 3 people are known to have been water boarded. ALl of the allegations against Bush were purely rhetoric and political.And it worked. They have smart guys like you thinking Bush did any thing wrong ,when in fact it is Congress that is completely responsible for all our troubles.

[hamace]

They opposed the War because they know little and listen to pied pipers like Dead Ted. That Fat tub of shit died along time ago, its too bad his influence on small minded people lives on.

[bilgemonkey74]

No shit.

It's unbelievable, fucking idiots will defend people who would do anything to kill them.

Amazing.

Sad.

[davegrohl88]

How dare you speak that way of such a man as Ted Kennedy. He and his family have served this country for years and he is definitely telling the truth here... most American's didn't support this fucking dumb escalation idea from Bush. If you are speaking of the senator's personal morals..frankly I don't care what he's done as long as he gets the job done in the senate and so far he's done a good job negotiating and passing legislation for over 40 years.

[Minionuup]

Ted Kennedy is a self serving power lib from Mass. A drunk (to this day). A murderer. A traitor(then and now).

[Minionuup]

Kennedy is a socialist traitor who hoped for our defeat. It will be fun watching him die without his communist manifesto in tatters.

[Duker114]

to bad for the dems. the surge has proven to be successful in iraq...lol...now all we hear is afganistan and how bad it is over there...why do you want to lose? search your souls

[usernametaken1932]

Non of you idiots have any idea who this piece of shit is! everyone is praising him... he is a worthless anti-american shit! read a fucking book you fools

[Edenglaender]

.ran..the...mu-tha-fu@k....awa­y.....

[usernametaken1932]

take a deep breath teddy and go to sleep. We will all pray for you. Pray that the rats eat your sorry fat ass! You dont deserve brain cancer, its to quick. Youll be gone in a few weeks. You need something more painful and long term you fat fuck.

[thedeadhed65]

what is wrong with you?

[cheguevara123]

Ted, you need to pull through this tumour.

America, and the world, needs you.

What a politician, what a man. Kennedy is so important, he keeps idiotic republicans and, to be fair, idiotic democrats in line. He stands up for the little guy, which is precisely what American political system, and my nation's (The UK) are lacking.

Good Luck Ted.

[JVonD]

Nice! Dudes the bomb! I hope he's doing ok..

[Evocletian]

U stupid americans don't realize what a crucial role kenndey has had in the last 40 years of politics...show a little respect for the guy for fuck sakes, U people make me sick

[boomac62]

Thank you. Senator Kennedy has been a voice for peace,justice and fairness for many years. he can not be replaced. He would have been a great proesident but insted he was a legendary Senator. He will be missed by all. I hope those who delight in his condition will have their hearts softened.

peace to all.

[Minionuup]

Many of us are awaiting the fat bastards death. It will be viewed as a large weight being released from our pockets.

[hombreuva2000]

and most of us are happy to have this champion in the senate and will be sad when he leaves this earth

[Minionuup]

Right because democrats are party over country people. Kennedy banked on us losing in Iraq.

[COCOPUFF093]

right on

[Minionuup]

Leave it to some dumbass Canadian to let us know how good the drunken murder has been for us. How he has helped our troops, our war effort, how he helped us to lose in vietnam.  Actually now i understand why you would like him.

[BryanNC08]

Shut up you fat drunk bastard. Going to Iraq is safer than driving in your car.

[hairymulletjr]

is kennedy such a fat-ass because he has to eat his words so much?

the surge debate is over... wrong again ted

[anubistiger]

god, shut up ted kennedy! I can't believe MA re-elects this yelling fatty each year. I wouldn't even vote for him after seeing him once on the Senate floor.

[70m0kun]

Technically I'm a Republican/Libertarian, but I never vote straight ticket. Most politicians are jack-asses. However, Kennedy has been consistent throughout his terms, and that is a great thing. He wants out of the war, along with the other 72% of the American population, and that is also a good thing. Maybe you should criticize with intelligence and you won't sound like a rampaging moron.

Better to keep silent and let everyone think you are a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[anubistiger]

It's good to keep consistent and all. But I can't help it to think that his posture and form and mannerisms are annoying. I didn't plan on giving off that impression you mentioned and btw I never mentioned anything about you being a republican and me voting straight ticket. Do you even know me?

[70m0kun]

LOL, I was just giving a bit of background on myself for context. I like to give those that disagree with me every opportunity to refute what I say.

As for him being annoying? Sure, I guess he can be based on opinion. Still, everyone is annoying to somebody, but not everyone can be competent at what they do. I like to encourage the standards of competency above other more trivial ones.

And no, I have no idea who you are, lol.

[msav111]

not at all! at least there's some voice out there that's anti-war and against the crooks in our current administration.

[anubistiger]

well good for you buster that's your own opinion as i'm entitled to mine on which I find him a complete ass.

[Minionuup]

The 21 year old strikes again!

[leftwingwacko]

Hicup!!! This guy is a clown and the state (Massachusetts) that elects him year after year must be the Circus he represents...

[jodypresti]

I guess he was wrong again.

[yaiknowscrewme]

And that policy worked...bushes policy on the surge is working and victory is near u old whore

[JoF00l]

really? victory is near? are you telling us that they're in their "last throes"? =]

[IllustriousSeven]

Ted Kennedy's dog's name is "Splash".

No, really. Look it up.

[killerbred69]

lets talk about how many bush has gotten killed in iraq,,,and u rightwing nitwits are worried about something that happened over 40 yrs ago,,,wake up

[faceswithin]

this is not the truth Kennedy and Murtha have some thing going on and we are to be keep blind from it

[Haflor]

he's shouting just like hitler. mr. kennedy needs to learn to be civil.

[nilbud]

tell your mother to keep out of my trashcans

[Azooka1234]

He should learn to be civil? Like you decent Republicans, who start unnessary wars overseas, while leaving its citizens in New Orleans to drown in raw sewage. CIVIL?! Like your pal Dick Cheney who once told Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy (and I quote) to go "F*** himself" Was that civil? You half wit neocons parading as patriots are actually so obsessed with repressing free speech that you are essentially facists. We'll shout if we feel like it, because in AMERICA we have that right!

[Dealit707]

You are a stupid liberal.

[Azooka1234]

Ah, a typical conservative...

I see you have decided to respond to a posting I made over 8 months ago. Instead of actually debating the very serious issues that I raise, (the unconstitutional war in Iraq, justification of torture, repression of free speech, and the fact that we were too busy bombing the shit out of Iraq to care for Hurricane Katrina surviors,) you instead choose to call me a "idiot liberal." Bravo, Dealit. Such staggering intellect!

[Jason825]

One of the BEST Senators of this Century! Proud to vote for him!!

[blaine76]

Here are the party details for Teddy Kennedy's party: Meet at Boston's Hooters at 10 p.m. If your ride leaves you, Teddy will be happy to take you home!?

[vaktr]

Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne.

The incident happened after a party on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969.

He drove his car off a bridge into Poucha Pond leaving Mary trapped inside.

Kennedy was probably drunk (Kennedy is a known drunk).

The police were not notified until the next day.

He talked to his lawyer before talking to the police.

[christinamickey06]

Please Ted was framed. The Kennedy family has been targets for this kind of crap throughout history. They try to help this country and they either get killed or have their reputations trashed. You need to wake up and do some research before you speak.

[BrandonRichardNY]

Fox News: New government study says Republicans are stupid. The report suggests arresting all Republicans and conservatives and putting them into mental institutions for they're own good and for the good of America. In fact, they're so stupid they couldn't even hide this report from the press!

[Haflor]

let's take out every republican and jus tpu tin liberal instead.

[amustad]

CBS News: Wal-mart has sold out of pink panties as libs across the country rushed for re-supply. Doctors nationwide are concerned about butt crack chafe syndrome due to ultra tight panties being worn by large buttock liberals. President Bush accused Kerry and his merry band of liberals of being behind this phenomenon. Kerry denied that he wore pink panties before he did.

[islandGAL7]

Mary Jo Kopechne
