Sometimes the Truest Statements are the Shortest

From the White House
Seems Ted Kennedy was the pathetic spokesperson assigned by the Democrats to respond to the President's assertion in his speech on Friday, 11/11/05, that the entire congress voted to approve the U.S. invasion of Iraq. As opposed to that decision being made by George W. Bush alone as the Democrats would suddenly have you believe.
The White House issued a press release in response:
"It is regrettable that Senator Kennedy has chosen Veteran's Day to continue leveling baseless and false attacks that send the wrong signal to our troops and our enemy during a time of war. It is also regrettable that Senator Kennedy has found more time to say negative things about President Bush then he ever did about Saddam Hussein. If America were to follow Senator Kennedy's foreign policy, Saddam Hussein would not only still be in power, he would be oppressing and occupying Kuwait." ================================ Sen. Kennedy Opposed Removing Saddam Hussein From Kuwait. (S.J.Res.2, CQ Vote #2: Adopted 52-47: R 42-2; D 10-45, 1/12/91, Kennedy Voted Nay) Sen. Kennedy Opposed Removing Saddam Hussein From Power. (H. J. Res. 114, CQ Vote #237: Passed 77-23: R 48- 1; D 29-21; I 0-1, 10/11/02, Kennedy Voted Nay) |
They Call This Reporting at the Washington Post?

"Alito, bespectacled, hair askew, suit rumpled and ill-fitting, walked into Sen. Tim Johnson's office this week to pay a courtesy call on the South Dakota Democrat. Sitting in an armchair in the senator's office, Alito forgot to unbutton his suit jacket, causing his tie to stick out and his jacket to bunch up. The judge's pant leg hiked up as he sat, revealing an untied shoelace."

"Facing clear evidence of peril, we cannot wait for the final proof -- the smoking gun -- that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud."- Our President in front of the uNited Nations.
You may want to add that quote to your list, since the president had full authority to go war. Congress did not declare war, our president did. Som you may want to move this quote to the top of your list.
