Senator Foghorn

Every time I hear Ted Kennedy speak, I think he's going to blow up like a sack of flour dropped from a 3rd storey window. He huffs and puffs and proclaims powers he knows he doesn't have.

Now, he's claiming that the President doesn't have the authority to increase the troops in Iraq without the permission of Congress. Vietnam is a quagmire, all right. The politicians who opposed it and brought about the shameful abandonment of our ally the South Vietnamese, are stuck seeing everything as a second Vietnam, making the same queasy arguments and forever reenacting their shame.
