This man is truly horrible, and yet I have yet to see a famous Democrat other than Zell Miller stand against him.

Sen. Ted Kennedy Calls for Troop Withdrawal From Iraq, Says Military Is Fueling Insurgents
By LOLITA C. BALDOR Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON Jan 27, 2005 � Immediately after Sunday's election in Iraq, President Bush should take steps to negotiate a timetable to begin bringing the troops home, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy said Thursday as he described his own plans for a stable Iraqi government.
Saying the American military's continued presence in Iraq is fanning the flames of conflict, Kennedy said at least 12,000 U.S. troops should leave at once, and a complete withdrawal should be finished as early as possible in 2006.
The Massachusetts Democrat said America must give Iraq back to its people rather than continue an occupation that parallels the failed policies of the Vietnam war.
"The U.S. military presence has become part of the problem, not part of the solution," Kennedy said in a speech to Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies. "We need a new plan that sets fair and realistic goals for self-government in Iraq, and works with the Iraqi government on a specific timetable for the honorable homecoming of our forces."
While not the first member of Congress to call for withdrawing the troops, Kennedy is the first senator to do so. And his remarks continued his long and blistering assault on the Bush administration's Iraq policies.
Republican National Committee spokesman Brian Jones criticized Kennedy's timing.
"It's remarkable that Senator Kennedy would deliver such an overtly pessimistic message only days before the Iraqi election," said Jones. "Kennedy's partisan political attack stands in stark contrast to President Bush's vision of spreading freedom around the world."
But Democrats applauded his five-point plan, which included a greater role for the United Nations, increased diplomacy in the Arab region and completing the training of an Iraqi security force before the end of the year.
Rep. Marty Meehan, D-Mass., who made a similar call for troop withdrawal earlier in the week, said he and Kennedy will be able to press Congress for a debate on this in the Armed Services committees.
Kennedy said the United States and the insurgents are both battling for the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people and the U.S. is losing.
"There may well be violence as we disengage militarily from Iraq and Iraq disengages politically from us, but there will be much more violence if we continue our present dangerous and destabilizing course," said Kennedy. "It will not be easy to extricate ourselves from Iraq, but we must begin."

Kennedy is such a jerk, to be blunt. I've heard MANY quotes in HIS VOICE from this speech, and they're outrageous. But, I have to be happy, because the more that the Democratic leadership aligns with people like him, the better chances the GOP will continue to have.
He just can't see the truth and stuff. Right after the election, he wants us to start to pull out? Is he crazy?

"I was brought up by a World War II father. I have to tell you if any politician had pulled any stunt, if my father was alive, this might have killed him yesterday."
"It was Senator Kennedy, among those who led the effort in 1975 to go back on our word, to pull all of our forces in support from the South Vietnamese, and the result in Cambodia was genocide. Ever heard of Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge? That is Senator Kennedy's record."
