Blog Juice on my Grundel

kin me like beef jerky and call me an Iraqi civilian:

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly promised his audience “the truth about Iraq” on Thursday, saying that most Americans now feel the war has not been worth the costs, while “the president’s argument for sustaining the war is largely theoretical.”

O’Reilly turned on his special guest during the segment, White House press secretary Tony Snow, saying, “You can’t win … unless the Iraqi people turn on all the terrorists. And they’re not.”

Yes… Bill O’Reilly has finally turned the page on turning the corner on making progress on going against the war. Isn’t this about the thousandth time he’s said he’s fed up with the war?

And while O’Reilly is making progress on the war, Ted Kennedy is making progress on immigration:

Regarding the 1965 bill that sparked the resurgence of large-scale immigration, Senator Kennedy predicted: “The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission.” Regarding the 1986 Immigration and Reform Control Act (the first amnesty of illegal immigrants), Senator Kennedy predicted: “This amnesty will give citizenship to only 1.1 to 1.3 million illegal aliens. We will secure the borders henceforth. We will never again bring forward another amnesty bill like this.” The 1986 legislation, by the way, ended up granting amnesty to around 3 million illegal immigrants.

In the private sector, this kind of track record would probably make Senator Kennedy an inviting target for all kinds of malpractice lawsuits.
