| Senator Kennedy Supports Bush's Surge |
| 2007-01-22 |
| So says the WSJ Opinion Page "Best of the Web" John Taranto It has been suggested that Sen. Ted Kennedy wants to treat Iraq the way he treated Vietnam and Mary Jo Kopechne. But this may be a bum rap. Yesterday on "Meet the Press," Kennedy had this to say: I, I suggest that the president has the responsibility to demonstrate and prove to the American people that the surge will work. This is because the surges in the past--when we were in Najaf--Najib in 2004, were not successful. In Fallujah, they weren't successful. In Baghdad this last year, they haven't been successful, 2005 not successful. The burden is on the president to prove to the American people that it will work. "The surge will work" is an empirical proposition, so the only way to prove it is through experimentation--i.e., we must conduct the surge and see if it works. Thus by demanding proof, Kennedy is endorsing the surge. No doubt the president is grateful for his support. |

| #1 Again the dems skillfully demonstrate they have no plan, never had a plan, and are not interested in developing one, just that they want to be critical of Bush and get in office. It will be great fun to see that windbag Kennedy stand behind hildabeast and support her. |
