Sen. Edward Kennedy’s Abu Ghraib Meltdown By E.F. Winslow 4-27-2005
Yesterday, Massachusetts Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D) released a statement commemorating the first anniversary of the revelations of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. Never missing an opportunity for a partisan attack, he described the now infamous images of Charles Graner and Lynndie England with their prisoners had now been “seared into our collective memory” and laid the blame squarely on the shoulders of the Republican administration. “The Administration” Kennedy says, “left our soldiers, case officers, and intelligence agents in a fog of ambiguity. They were told to 'take the gloves off' without knowing what the limits were.” Despite the fact that nine comprehensive investigations have been carried out by the Pentagon, Kennedy apparently won’t be happy until he has the heads of some high level officials in a basket. ”We know about the actions that have been taken against Charles Graner and Lynndie England. But what about William Haynes, Alberto Gonzales, Jay Bybee, John Yoo, David Addington, Douglas Feith?” Kennedy goes so far as to misrepresent the situation to attempt to paint the worst possible picture of the U.S. military.

sunken oldsmobiles and drowned girls also have been “seared into our collective memory” senator derrigible!
What does Kennedy think he can gain from this, except to further destroy the Democratic party? Common sense Americans are not going to stand by and let the Democrats destroy the reputation and fabric of our military might!
I doubt a single thing went on in any of those photos that couldn't be witnessed at a Kennedy compound at some point in the last forty years.
In the last hour yesterday, Rush and callers made hilarious fun of the swimmer.
When's the anniversary of Chappiquidick (sp)? We should all send cards of remembrance to Kennedy.
“The Administration” Kennedy says, “left our soldiers, case officers, and intelligence agents in a fog of ambiguity"
Kinda like that Chappiquidic "fog of ambiguity" senator?
What a piece of trash this nut is. But look at the people that elected him. What were they thinking?
Shouldn't Fat Teddy be 'drowning' himself in cheap liquor instead of wasting his time showering microphones with foam-speckled spittle?
I for one think we need more homicides of detainees...then we won't have to worry about them escaping or being released. Who cares about these "people" anyway? We need to send a message: find yourself in a situation where you're being hunted by the US military, and you could very well be killed, even if captured. Simple.
Blast it! You beat me to it.
Is 'fog of ambiguity' in any way related to an 'alcoholic fog'?
Loved the way Rush and callers took on the subject - some very hilarious comments were made.
Yes, we should all send anniversary cards to Kennedy's office as a Chappaquidic remembrance -
There was a direct correlation between the Abu Ghraib story and an increase in terrorist attacks. Rather than let the military deal with this problem quietly, the Dems and the media splashed it all over the news, thereby inciting the insurgents to more violence and the loss of American lives. And I will not apologize for this: that was their intent.
Pretty obvious to me, too.
What's with the demonrats and events being "seared" into their memory? Especially booze sotted and drug addled brains. Both the swimmer's and JFinK's memories were probably refreshed, oops make that seared, by some staffer with an idea for publicity.
All send Teddy a pair of those 'swimmers nose clips'
July 19, 1969
When I heard about "Splash Day" yesteday, I first thought it was a counter protest to Kennedy's Abu Ghraib Day.

7/26/40 - 7/18/69.
Now, just STFU.
Do they still have their heads?
They did better then our guys.
I believe it was July 16, 1969 the same day as Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. I could be a day off.
Why is it that I envision Ted Kennedy/Chris Dodd's Georgetown restaurant back room "waitress sandwiches" and Massachusetts beach intern parties as closely resembling that infamous Abu Ghraib nude pyramid?
BTW- Mary Jo Kopechne would have been eligible to start drawing social security benefits this year.
I may be wrong, but I bet even the MSM will ignore this embarrassment to America in general and the Democratic party in particular.
I agree.. We should..

Actually, I had more or less forgot about the whole episode. It was just another election year media ploy that failed.
July 19, 1969
Is this the anniversary date, mc? If so, I think we should inundate ol' Fat Ted's office with remembrances!
How this reprobate can stand up in the Senate and say the things he does is beyond comprehension!
Here is a good site YTEDK.COM
I believe Armstrong walked on the Moon 1 or 2 days after.
Teddy is just too repulsive and repugnant for words. I think Athos over on LGF said it best:
"To say Teddy is a pantload is an insult to crap filling underwear."
A well known conservative radio talk show host says Admiral Oldsmobile's drinking habits are not known and we should refrain from making such comments. I can't mention his name lest I be accused of bashing.
Apollo 11 landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, and Armstrong walked on it the same day. The mission started on 7/16. http://www.nasa.gov/vision/space/features/apollo11_35th.html
All in all, very convenient for Fat Ted (Drunken Murderer, PDRM).
Thanks, mc!
Kennnedy should be housed in a cell with his new constituents(Terrorists) at Gitmo. Dead would be provided with an IV in his left arm attached to a continuous supply of scotch&water to his feeding tube until it is to be ordered removed by judge Queer(Geer). NSNR
fog of ambiguity
tedeeeeeee is in a fog of life.
You know what is seared into my memory? Those pictures of Fat Ted's man-boobs and enormous bellie & jowls. Apologies to those of you who have eaten recently.
A sane/logical person would summize that the people who vote and elect Dead kennedy/Rabbit fire-fight kerry are totally F'd up in body, mind, & spirit.NSNR
"Why is it that I envision Ted Kennedy/Chris Dodd's Georgetown restaurant back room "waitress sandwiches" and Massachusetts beach intern parties as closely resembling that infamous Abu Ghraib nude pyramid?"
I was thinking the same thing. Glad you posted the incident in the restaurant.
Kennedy wants to equate the embarrasment of enemy prisoners with the torture, beheadings, and other murders committed by the terrorists. His waitress sandwich is a much closer analogy.
It was July 20, and they arrived back on earth on the 24th.
Funny, the pictures of Abu Graibe are not seared into my memory. I forget them 30 seconds after seeing them. I only remember them when the MSM shows them again on anniversaries.
Is Abu Graibe going to be the Boomer/X Gen "Hiroshima"? You know, every August a bunch of hippies toddle out of their basements to say how evil America is?
I have heard that Ted Kennedy has a portait of himself, that over the years has remained as young, slim, and handsome as the day it was painted.
