TEDDY : MARY JO KOPECHNE :: TEDDY'S POLICIES : VIETNAM AND IRAQ

Young Teddy abandoned Mary Jo, and was one of the leaders advocating our abandonment of Vietnam. Now faot old Teddy wants us to abandon Iraq. I figure this proves that Teddy is the epitome of bailing out too early, before the job is done. He'd rather save his own big fat partying-ass than risk it for his fellow man - or woman.

What I don't get is this: how come Teddy is such a Leftist anti-American dove!? After all, Teddy's oldest brother Joe Jr. was a war hero in WW2 who died on a secret mission. His next oldest brother, JFK, was a war hero in the Pacific in WW2 - skipper of PT BOAT 109, and said in his inaugural, "Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge—and more." (I have NEVER heard a better statement of the "neocon creed" - except maybe by FDR in his FOUR FREEDOMS speech!). Teddy's next oldest brother RFK was a legal aide to anti-communist Senator Joe McCarthy and as USAG fearlessly fought the Mob.

And Teddy!? He got kicked out of college, murdered a woman, got divorced, and has advocated either retreat from. or appeasement of. every tryant in the world. His brothers must be rolling in their graves.

Teddy has certainly tarnished the Kenedy name and the Kennedy legacy. What a loser. What a shame.
