Dem’s words a hit in the Middle East

This crap makes my head spin around.

I was cruising the Web as usual checking out what was going on in the world and what the reaction was to President Bush’s speech last night.

A picture and quotation from Ted “Jabba the Hut” Kennedy was prominently featured on the Al Jazeera web site article addressing Bush’s speech. They also featured words from former California hippy chick turned Democratic Minority leader Nancy Pelosi, and John sKerry got his two cent's worth in also.

" “The president missed an opportunity tonight for straight talk to the American people," said Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic minority leader in the House of Representatives.

"The American people understand what is at stake in Iraq and in the Middle East. That is why it is so disappointing that the president failed tonight, as he has failed consistently since the war began, to lay out specifics for success, including performance benchmarks," she added.

Senator Ted Kennedy, a frequent critic of the war, said the administration's policy on Iraq was "adrift".

"Our soldiers in Iraq need more than assurances of progress from the president," Kennedy said. "They need an effective plan to end the violence, bring peace and stability to Iraq, and return home with dignity and honour. Unfortunately, the president did not level with our troops and the American people and offer an effective strategy for success," he said. Senator John Kerry,

Bush's Democratic rival in the last presidential election, accused the US leader of creating a "third rationale" for going to war.

"The first, of course, was weapons of mass destruction. The second was democracy. And now tonight, it's to combat the hotbed of terrorism," Kerry told CNN."

Can you say Treason and Sedition?
