Surrender To Who???
According to this article, that’s the question that Ted Kennedy is asking. Here’s Kennedy’s statement in context:
On the Senate side of Capitol Hill, Sen. Ted Kennedy, (D-MA), said he didn’t want to “dignify with a response” the GOP’s new characterization of the Democratic position on troop withdrawal as “surrender.” “Surrender to who? Who are we surrendering to? This is an unconventional war and has to be dealt with in unconventional ways. This is an administration that has never understood the nature of the threat or the way to respond to it,” Kennedy said.
Sen. Kennedy’s age and arrogance are showing. If the MNF forces leave, it will have the effect of surrendering to AQI, Iran and the Iraqi insurgents. He’d know that if he didn’t hate President Bush so much. That BDS colors his judgments and causes him to make idiotic statements like that.
“It’s a place where the Iraqis have decided to take control of their future. The Sheiks have played a key role in making good things happen out here, along with the Iraqi police and the Iraqi army and with our help. I received a briefing not just about military operations, but about construction projects, rule of law initiatives and a variety of local political developments that are encouraging,” Gates said.
Those stories won’t get told in any major newspapers. Those stories certainly won’t get told on NBC or CBS nightly news. What’s worse is that those stories will be ridiculed by Congressional Democrats, who view this war purely in political terms.

It’s not surprising “The Swimmer” got tossed from Hawvud: He apparently doesn’t know it’s “to whom” one surrenders. Of course, if he doesn’t understand “to whom” he is surrendering, he also doesn’t understand “against whom” we are fighting, nor the dastardly nature of that enemy, nor the lengths to which that enemy will go to put fuzzy brains like socialists Kennedy, Reid et al to sleep while they defeat us.
