Kennedy: Pull out troops
highlights:
"We lost our national bearings in Vietnam. We ignored the truth. We failed our ideals," he said. "We cannot allow that history to repeat itself in Iraq."
Kennedy warned that Iraqis and people all over the world are losing respect for America because of the United States' inability "to provide security and other basic services" to the Iraqi people.
He briefly discussed the future of Social Security, calling Bush's recent proposal to partially privatize the system a plan "that doesn't do anything about the problem."
