Senator Kennedy is unaware that Iraqis are fighting and dying in larger numbers than our troops to fight the Baathists and jihadis.
Before you get upset that such an ill-informed man is a US senator, be happy he is not a taxi driver or 9-1-1 dispatcher.
But while I am grateful that he can do less damage as a US senator, I still wish the chap would quit it (and my undying gratitude to Saturday Night Live of ages ago for that line).
