WASHINGTON, Feb. 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement by RNC Communications Director Brian Jones on the "Sen. Kennedy Cut-and-Run Strategy":

"It's disappointing that only a week after the first free elections in Iraq in fifty years, Sen. Kennedy is still preaching a cut and run strategy. Sen. Kennedy's pessimism and defeatism stands in remarkable contrast to the Democratic party that once proclaimed it would pay any price and bear any burden to protect and promote liberty."

-- Brian Jones, RNC communications director

The New Old Face of the Democrat Party Calls Again for "Immediate Troop Withdrawals":

Kennedy Again Referred To His "Call For The Immediate Troop Withdrawals." (NBC's "Meet The Press," 2/6/05)

Kennedy Called For The United States To Cut-And-Run In Iraq. SEN. TED KENNEDY (D-Mass.): "And we ought to establish as a goal -- not as a requirement, as a goal -- that we are going to negotiate that time frame with the new Iraqi government, but as a goal that we want our troops out by 2006." (NBC's "Meet The Press," 2/6/05)

Kennedy Believes Terrorists Will Wait Out U.S. Troops No Matter What. SEN. TED KENNEDY (D-Mass.): "The fact remains, those that have been critical of this idea say that we should not set the date because somehow the insurgents are going to wait. They're going to wait for 18 months or two years. And then after we train these Iraqi troops, they're going to somehow come back in and take over Iraq?" (NBC's "Meet The Press," 2/6/05)

Kennedy Said Last Month That Troops Were Part Of The Problem In Iraq. "'The U.S. military presence has become part of the problem, not part of the solution,' Kennedy said in remarks prepared for delivery at Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies." (Lolita C. Baldor, "Kennedy Calls For Troop Withdrawal, Says Military Is Fueling Insurgents," The Associated Press, 1/27/05)
