Who is for America? Who is against Americans?
It’s a sad day on the Left….
Senator Ted Kennedy spoke at the Brookings Institution Monday, April 5, 2004:
Tragically, in making the decision to go to war, the Bush Administration allowed its own stubborn ideology to trump the cold hard evidence that Iraq posed no immediate threat. They misled Congress and the American people because the Administration knew that it could not obtain the consent of Congress for the war if all the facts were known.
By going to war in Iraq on false pretenses and neglecting the real war on terrorism…
Interesting, Senator Kennedy, since on September 27, 2002 “warned that a war with Iraq could trigger Baghdad’s use of weapons of mass destruction, and possibly start a wider, destabilizing conflict in the Middle East. ” source
Oh, but are you claiming Bush’s lies prompted you to think Iraq had WMDs? Then how do you explain saying, “There is clearly a threat from Iraq, and there is clearly a danger, but the Administration has not made a convincing case that we face such an imminent threat to our national security that a unilateral, pre-emptive American strike and an immediate war are necessary, ” on the same day? source
And your followup was classic, “No one disputes that America has lasting and important interests in the Persian Gulf, or that Iraq poses a significant challenge to U.S. interests. There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein’s regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed.”
And your own website has your statement that contains, “Let me say it plainly: I not only concede, but I am convinced that President Bush believes genuinely in the course he urges upon us.” source
All this, and you still say Bush lied to get us into a war that was concocted years before. Color me confused.
Maybe your position can be better explained by other Democrats. Let’s look at the St. Petersburg, Florida Democrat Club (a group chartered by the Florida Democrat Party) advocating the murder of Donald Rumsfeld…

“And then there’s Rumsfeld who said of Iraq, “We have our good days and our bad days.” We should put this S.O.B. up againist a wall and say “This is one of our bad days” and pull the trigger.
Well, that doesn’t seem to help you. Maybe we can just simply ask the ‘man on the street’….
Anti-war protest April 10th, in U.N. Plaza and along Market Street in San Francisco
How about the Berkeley student at the same rally, who said:
“In light of that, you know, the occupation is a source of tremendous violence against Iraqis. I think we’ve got to support the resistance; we’ve got to say that we support attacks against the occupying forces. So I mean — and you can imagine what kind of an inspiring thing that is for people in Palestine, for people in Bolivia, for people in Argentina, Colombia, all over the world, facing down the barrel of a US-supplied gun. Seeing the people of Iraq fight back, that’s what we need.”
or the Berkeley Lecturer, Hatem Bazian, who said:
“Are you angry? [Yeah!] Are you angry? [Yeah!] Are you angry? [Yeah!] Well, we’ve been watching intifada in Palestine, we’ve been watching an uprising in Iraq, and the question is that what are we doing? How come we don’t have an intifada in this country? Because it seem[s] to me, that we are comfortable in where we are, watching CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, and all these mainstream… giving us a window to the world while the world is being managed from Washington, from New York, from every other place in here in San Francisco: Chevron, Bechtel, [Carlyle?] Group, Halliburton; every one of those lying, cheating, stealing, deceiving individuals are in our country and we’re sitting here and watching the world pass by, people being bombed, and it’s about time that we have an intifada in this country that change[s] fundamentally the political dynamics in here. And we know every– They’re gonna say some Palestinian being too radical — well, you haven’t seen radicalism yet!”
So let’s review:
1. Ted Kennedy accuses Bush of lying and misleading everyone, yet he previously said that “we all knew of the threat” he’s claiming Bush manufactured,
2. The St. Petersburg, Florida Democrat Group, chartered by the Florida Democrat Party has placed a newspaper advertisement soliciting donations to the Kerry campaign and calling Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld an S.O.B. that ought to be “put up against the wall… and pull the trigger”,
3. Anti-war protestors accuse Bush of lying and happily show their support for enemy insurgents and terrorists to kill our soldiers and win the war against the coalition (including U.S. military).
4. A Berkeley Lecturer advocating an intifada in the U.S. (translation “suicide bombers”)
It’s shameful. Imagine what these people will do when “we the people” re-elect George W. Bush. Hold on tight, folks, the “peaceful” Left is starting to show its true colors…..
