I don't believe we've commented on Ted Kennedy's ill-timed speech at Johns Hopkins. Iraqi-American Haider Ajina fills the void:

I have read a number of articles in Iraqi newspapers reporting on senator Kennedy’s speech at Johns Hopkins University. (They call him a senior senator)

They are quoting him using words like “war of liberations, armed resistance, war of independence” to describe the terrorist acts in Iraq. Also asking for our complete withdrawal from Iraq by 2006 and describing what we did in Iraq as a calamity.

I think that AlZarqawy could not have rallied his troops with a better speech. What is he doing giving speeches like this so close to the elections in Iraq? Iraqis will brave threats to their lives to vote in hope that we will stay with them till they are ready. Now a U.S. senator tells them we must pull out quickly and leave the Iraqis with no help. When we fought for our independence during the revolutionary war we needed help from other nations and they did not cut and run after we declared our independence and our democratic republic. Does Kennedy not look at our past history? Will he stop at nothing for his own agenda and political gain? What shame what a defile to this great nation of ours. Then this is democracy and we must fight for his freedoms and rights like we do for ours. I wonder if he would do the same for us.

Actually, no, I don't think Kennedy would fight for our freedom. I'm not even sure he would try to save us if we were drowning. OK, that was a cheap shot. Sort of. But there is no possible excuse for Kennedy's behavior. He is a disgrace to the office he holds.
