Ted Kennedy tries to rerun tet 68

Rush Limbaugh examined Ted Kennedy's recent comments at the National Press Club:

SENATOR KENNEDY: We have reached the point that a prolonged American military presence in Iraq is no longer productive for either Iraq or the United States. The US military presence has become part of the problem, not part of the solution. No matter how many times the administration denies it, there is no question they misled the nation and led us into a quagmire in Iraq. Despite the clear lesson of history, the president stubbornly clings to the false hope that the turning point is just around the corner.

RUSH: You remember, ladies and gentlemen, shortly -- by the way, you know where this term "quagmire" started? It's Walter Cronkite's word for Vietnam, and it is that expression of Cronkite's which is seen in the mainstream media to have turned the public opinion against the war. Thus, the use of "quagmire" as a word to describe Iraq by Senator Kennedy is no accident. Now, you'll recall that shortly before our election in November, Osama bin Laden tried to influence our election with a statement aired on Al-Jazeera. Yesterday, three days before the crucial election in Iraq, Senator Kennedy tried to influence the Iraq election and the demoralization of US troops and the undermining of US policy with a statement that he hopes will influence the election in Iraq. ...

Yup, I've already blogged about how Teddy led the Senate to welch on our aggrements to support South Vietnam, which led to South Vietnam losing to North Vietnam. That fat obnoxious drunkard is trying to make the U.S. lose again.

Keep trying, Teddy, bin Laden is counting on you coming through. After all, just like the North Vietnamese, bin Laden can't beat us on the battlefield—he can only win through turncoats like you.
