| Quote: | Kennedy says Bush makes U.S. more vulnerable to nuclear attack
By Lolita C. Baldor, Associated Press, 9/26/2004 22:46
WASHINGTON (AP) The Bush administration's failure to shut down al-Qaida and rebuild Iraq have fueled the insurgency and made the United States more vulnerable to a nuclear attack by terrorists, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said Sunday.
In a speech prepared for delivery at George Washington University on Monday, Kennedy said that by shifting attention from Osama bin Laden to Iraq, Bush has increased the danger of a ''nuclear 9/11.''
''The war in Iraq has made the mushroom cloud more likely, not less likely,'' he said in the remarks released late Sunday.
Expanding on earlier suggestions that Iraq is Bush's Vietnam, Kennedy said U.S. soldiers are bogged down in a quagmire with no end in sight.
He said it was a good thing Bush was not in charge during the Cuban missile crisis, one of the darker periods of his late brother's John Kennedy's time as president.
On the economic front, he said the administration's failures to distribute billions of dollars in reconstruction funds and create enough local Iraqi jobs may have been the biggest factors leading to the rise of the insurgency there.
Kennedy has been pummeling the Bush administration in daily speeches in the Senate, serving as one of the most aggressive flame-throwers for Democrat John Kerry's presidential campaign. Bush, meanwhile, has charged Kerry with flip-flopping on Iraq.
In defense of Bush's policies, Sen. Lindsay Graham, R-S.C., appearing Sunday on CBS' ''Face the Nation'' along with Kennedy, said the United States must stay the course in Iraq until the fight is done, and that criticism of the war like that coming from Kennedy will hurt the cause in the Middle East.
Kennedy's Monday speech details 13 reasons why Bush's policies have not made the United States safer from terrorism. Among other things, he said the war in Iraq created a new breeding ground for terrorists, distracted from efforts to eliminate al-Qaida, alienated America's allies and allowed North Korea and Iran to pursue nuclear weapons. |

Geez. The speech will not even be delivered until tomorrow. Guess he released the contents to the media early to get more "bang" for his buck.
Oh well, another drunken tirade.
Sen. Kennedy needs to find sobriety.

Yep, the Chappy swim team strikes again! Never mind we have a plan to relieve our troops with trained ING in the future and that we have 20,000 troops in Afghanistan looking for OBL.

| Every citizen of Massachusetts should have to pay the rest of us reparations for inflicting this idiot upon us year after bloody year. If it costs them, maybe they will rethink it. |

They need to call the cops while hes speaking and let us watch him blow a 2.0 live on tv. It would be hilarious to hear 55 percent of the senate laughing while he gets cuffed!

Wherever Kennedy speaks there should be microphones with breath analyzers to test for alcohol. I think that he should be given sobriety tests everytime he enters the Senate chamber. The public deserves that much. No one should be allowed to participate in the governance of this nation who is a raging alcoholic.
