Kennedy On Iraq

I watched his speech on Friday. It was painful as I had to listen to my brother, who thinks Bush can do no wrong, rant in favor of Bush. I hope he doesn't lose his over time pay because he needs it bad. Some people are blind to the truth.

This is from the speech...

In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, President Bush himself made clear that his highest priority was finding Osama bin Laden. At a press conference on September 17th, 2001, he said that he wanted bin Laden "dead or alive." Three days later, in an address to a Joint Session of Congress, President Bush demanded of the Taliban: "Deliver to the United States authorities all the leaders of Al Qaeda who hide in your land." And Congress cheered. On November 8th, the President told the country, "I have called our military into action to hunt down the members of the Al Qaeda organization who murdered innocent Americans." In doing that, he had the full support of Congress and the nation-and rightly so.
