From blog correspondent Dave McLaughlin
The effect of the war in Iraq on America’s security
Speech given by Sen. Edward Kennedy at George Washington University

DM: I hope that Senator Kerry is reading Senator Kennedy's notes in preparation for Thursday night's debate!

I thank God that President Bush was not our President at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

- Sen. Edward M. Kennedy

DM: At least during the Cuban Missile Crisis, we had a President who (1) was legitimately elected to office and (2) had the moral courage to reject a lunatic plan such as "Operation Northwoods".
