"Zarqawi" is Arabic for "Kennedy"
The Massachusetts Manatee is a disgusting traitor.
The American military's continued presence in Iraq is fanning the flames of conflict, and signals the need for a new detailed timeline to bring the troops home, Senator Edward M. Kennedy said Thursday.
No, it is the jihadi invaders who are "fanning the flames of conflict"; the American military is the nemesis that is defeating them, and will continue to do so unless and until Senator Zarqawi's quislingist advice is heeded.
Just three days before the Iraqi people go to the polls to elect a new government, the Massachusetts Democrat said America must give Iraq back to its people rather than continue an occupation that parallels the failed politics of the Vietnam war. [my emphasis]
We HAVE given Iraqis their country back. Senator Zarqawi wants to take it away from them and turn it back over to the Ba'athists and jihadis, which would result in a bloodbath on a par with the killing fields of Cambodia and other regions of Indochina that followed the last implementation of his "failed politics of the Vietnam war."
But think about the highlighted passage above: "just three days before the Iraqi people go to the polls to elect a new government." What purpose could this pro-jihadi speech have other than as a desperate, last-ditch attempt to tear down Iraq's burgeoning democracy? And how does that make Uncle Ted any different from the terrorists?
"The U.S. military presence has become part of the problem, not part of the solution," Kennedy said in remarks prepared for delivery at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies. "We need a new plan that sets fair and realistic goals for self-government in Iraq, and works with the Iraqi government on a specific timetable for the honorable homecoming of our forces."
It is the enemy invaders who are the "problem." Their defeat is the solution to that problem. And the U.S. military is the instrument of that solution.
We have a plan in place already that is working like clockwork. Remember when people like Senator Zarqawi scoffed that power wouldn't, couldn't be turned over to the Iraqi interim government last June 30th? And it wasn't - it was turned over two days early. Then people like Senator Zarqawi immediately started insulting and denigrating Prime Minister Iyad Allawi as a "puppet" of the Bush Administration. Now people like Senator Zarqawi - including Senator Zarqawi - are trying their damndest to talk down and discredit Sunday's Iraqi election. And they'll fail there as well.
What does Senator Zarqawi mean by "fair and realistic goals," BTW? Who determines what that is to mean? Isn't an elected Iraqi assembly better qualified to do so than some UN conference fleshed out by old Saddamite pensioners? Why doesn't Senator Zarqawi want Iraqis to determine their own destiny?
Now, Kennedy said, the United States and the insurgents are both battling for the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people and the U.S. is losing.
This is as grotesque as it is delusional. We saved the Iraqi people from a brutal, murderous dictator; the enemy is killing as many Iraqi civilians as they can. We're offering the Iraqi people freedom and self-determination; the enemy is offering the Iraqi people death and tyranny even more harrowing than the brand from which we liberated them.
The "hearts and minds" litmus test is turnout in this Sunday's national elections. If it approaches 80%, which is increasingly being discussed as a likely possibility, what will that say about whether we or the "insurgents" are winning the "hearts and minds" of the Iraqi people?
"There may well be violence as we disengage militarily from Iraq and Iraq disengages politically from us, but there will be much more violence if we continue our present dangerous and destabilizing course," said Kennedy. "It will not be easy to extricate ourselves from Iraq, but we must begin."
"Violence" in the sense of the terrorists being systematically decimated. If we cut and run, as Senator Zarqawi urges, the violence will flow entirely in the direction of jihadi vengeance against the Iraqi people for defying their 7th-century will - much like what happened after the last unnecessary, contrived, pell-mell retreat he helped to perpetrate. Like in Vietnam, all our sacrifices will have been for naught; but, unlike Vietnam, we'll have suffered a huge defeat in the GWOT that was entirely self-inflicted, and the enemy, confident that they'd taken our best shot, will come swarming toward our homeland with God-knows-what with unstoppable momentum to butcher us by the thousands.
And "Billionaire Ted" wouldn't be touched by any of it.
This treasonous soliloquoy says far more about the "heart and mind" of Senator Zarqawi than it does anything else. And both are irredeemably diseased.
UPDATE: Mark Noonan urges that Ted Kennedy be censured for his actions. I heartily agree - this is the bare minimum that should be done to him.
