The RATS are gasping their last dying breaths. Kennedy was livid, going on that the people of America are confused about why we went to war in Iraq.

In truth it's Kennedy who has a PhD in Confusion.

I'll tell you what made my blood boil....A caller to Laura Ingraham's show yesterday talking about Wesley Clark's "moral superiority" to President Bush. How can a group of people who claim there is no such thing as "morals" claim that any of their ilk is "morally superior" to anyone?

[Peach]

LOL!

Kennedy has completely twisted the president's words and is beneath contempt.

[prairiebreeze]

Short attention span huh? Or did you forget your meds today?

This is all frustrating, but I can't help but get the impression that Carl Rove has the Democrats right where he wants them.

[Peach]

Hope Laura asked if it was morally superior to kill thousands of innocent civilians fighting an unnecessary war. And how about those hundreds of thousands of people supposedly being murdered through ethnic cleansing campaigns when the UN only found a few thousand?

Clark wasin charge of that campaign and it wasn't morally superior to even, say, Arafat.

Someone ZOT this fool!

Bill Nelson on Fox:

"No olive branch"........Jeff Sessions countering.

Heads must be exploding over at DummyU. Lots of troll stench around today. Poor babies, they just can't relate to the fact that America now has a real man for President. Makes them twitch and drool.

Bump!

HOW MANY SPEECHES HAS THE SENATOR GIVEN DEMANDING AN ACCOUNTING OF THE MILLIONS THAT DISAPPEARED INTO THE BIG DIG

[Hazzardgate]

Indeed! DUmmys are so boring and predictable these days.

Thanks for posting the transcript....it was on right after I got out of my US govt. Class. I was going to go to the lounge and watch it but realized I had to make up a test for my religions of the world class.

Sounds like he came off strong and determined..still hoping to catch some soundbites later on.

In my mind President Bush is much too nice.

If I had been giving that speech, it would have gone something like this.

Many of you in this chamber know that there is a significant amount of oil wealth in Iraq. I believe this fact is clear. What I think is not clear is that we are the ones who are currently sitting on it and you are not. Some of you seem to think it's the other way around. I'm here to remind you it isn't.

Up to this point America, with a few allies, notably Great Britain, have done the hard work, spent the money, and shed the blood to liberate Iraq from its brutal dictator. The rest of you have stood by and watched, criticizing from the sidelines like some fans at an NFL game.

After we have done all that work you have the unmitigated gall to suggest that we should simply hand it all over to you so you can make the money from Iraqi oil, the way you did with your bogus "Oil for Food" program and your illegal embargo busting. That kind of chutzpa might have worked with other administrations, but it won't work with this one.

If you think you can take this oil from us, then bring it on. Otherwise, I suggest you get off your high-horses and start showing some respect. If you ask politely we may, and I emphasize may, let you in on the reconstruction. If you don't, then we're going to continue to do this without you, and you won't get one thin American dime of that Iraqi oil money.

Thank you, and don't take too long making up your minds.

I suppose it's a good thing I'm not President.

Shalom.

Kennedy doesn't note a difference between us developing nukes and North Korea. Shows you what he thinks about America.

[Numbers Guy]

Thanks for posting; I was stuck in a meeting and missed it. You're right, no groveling whatsoever, a powerful restatement of why we did what we did and why we were right to do so, and a thumb of the nose at the French and others who are trying to undermine Iraqi reconstruction. You can bet that the direct reference to the Marshall Plan, which saved Europe from starvation, depression, and Marxism, was aimed right at the French and the Germans.

I look at the "timing" of drunken Kennedy's vitriolic attacks on POTUS. I think he's hoping to turn voters in my state against Arnold.

[roses of sharon]

Kennedy wants his fellow liberals in the press to play his soundbits after Bush's tonite on the evening news.

And he will get it.

[My2Cents]

It's also hard to call someone like Clark "morally superior" when 1) he doesn't know what his own opinions are, 2) associates with the left who don't believe in morals, and 3) is the hand puppet of the Clintons, who get their morals from the pit of Hell.
