Kennedy's 'Texas' remark stirs GOP reaction
"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," the Massachusetts Democrat told the AP. The story was posted on CNN.com.
Matt's Chat:
While I will personally agree that there was no immediate threat to the citizens of the United States, the accusation that a plan to liberate Iraq was fabricated in Texas prior to 9/11 is irresponsible, ridiculous, and slanderous. If a Republican had made a similar statement about Bill Clinton back in the day, there would be hell to pay in the media. Where is the accountability? Where is the professional respect for the presidency? Kennedy should know better and he should be ashamed of his comments and issue an apology immediately.Mark's Remarks::
If Teddy Boy said this, then I pose the question: what about the missile strikes into Iraq, Sudan, and Afghanistan in 96 and 98? Those were wag the dog issues as well, Mr. Senator, as Mr. Clinton was embroiled in shifting focus away from his nefarious lies under oath, and his dishonesty as President. Also, I find the charges from Mr. Kennedy funny, as he has several shady episodes in his past with political manuevering. I would not believe a homicidal drunk driver (remember Chapaquitick, Teddy Boy?) who has molested more teens than the entire Boston Diocese. It is a shame that people still give this lush respect. He brings disgrace to the Kennedy name. He brings disgrace to the title of Senator. He should be censured. He is a liar, drunk, and womanizer. NO wonder Bill and Hill love him.Treasury Leaves Rules in Place Allowing Banks to Accept Mexican IDs
