Read what this liberal PANSY is saying now. This fucker is COMPLETELY UNAMERICAN!!
BOSTON (AP) - The case for going to war against Iraq was a fraud "made up in Texas" to give Republicans a political boost, Sen. Edward Kennedy said Thursday.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Kennedy also said the Bush administration has failed to account for nearly half of the $4 billion the war is costing each month. He said he believes much of the unaccounted-for money is being used to bribe foreign leaders to send in troops.
He called the Bush administration's current Iraq policy "adrift."
The Massachusetts Democrat expressed doubts about how serious a threat Saddam Hussein posed to the United States in its battle against terrorism. He said administration officials relied on "distortion, misrepresentation, a selection of intelligence" to justify their case for war.
"There was no imminent threat. This was made up in Texas, announced in January to the Republican leadership that war was going to take place and was going to be good politically. This whole thing was a fraud," Kennedy said.
Kennedy said a recent report by the Congressional Budget Office showed that only about $2.5 billion of the $4 billion being spent monthly on the war can be accounted for by the Bush administration.
"My belief is this money is being shuffled all around to these political leaders in all parts of the world, bribing them to send in troops," he said.
Of the $87 billion in new money requested by President Bush for the war, Kennedy said the administration should be required to report back to the Congress to account for the spending.
"We want to support our troops because they didn't make the decision to go there... but I don't think it should be open-ended. We ought to have a benchmark where the administration has to come back and give us a report," he added.
Kennedy said the focus on Iraq has drawn the nation's attention away from more direct threats, including al-Qaida, instability in Afghanistan or the nuclear ambitions of North Korea.
"I think all of those pose a threat to the security of the people of Massachusetts much more than the threat from Iraq," Kennedy said. "Terror has been put on the sidelines for the last 12 months."
I'm embarassed that this LOSER comes from my state. This guy is a prime example of a spineless jellyfish who caters to whatever audience will listen to his crap. He has flipped quicker than a pancake on so many issues depending on what he thinks will garner more votes at the time.
So what about his brother, Jack, who started our overt involvement in Vietnam, he was a liar, and lied to get us involved in Vietnam.
I suppose he also lied about Cuba having nukes, OHHH wait, I mean it could have been settled diplomatically.
A family of pissants, what do you expect?
If they are 'OUR' royal family, I say we now begin practicing regicide.

I dont understand the general idiotic populus' enamoration with that cesspool genetic dump of a family. What have they done for this country? I really have NO UNDERSTANDING of why people like JFK and his idiotic brothers and pukes of extended family at ALL.
Most of the Democrats, even the Liberals, were Flag waving for the War on Iraq. Now, they are back pedaling, as they are more concerned about elections than the welfare of America. They send out their most liberal stooge to spew his liberal crapola, which can only be bought and sold to socialist camp. Of all the Kennedys, including Pappa Joe, which was the biggest crook, Teddy is the worst. He is the "White" Jesse Jackson.
