Editor's note: The following are Sen. Edward M. Kennedy's remarks as prepared for delivery Tuesday in response to Vice President Dick Cheney's comment that Democrats believe "blind opposition to the new strategy in Iraq is good politics."

Mr. President, just a few minutes ago, Vice President Cheney attacked the Senate majority leader on Iraq. He accused him of making "uninformed and misleading" statements, of defeatism, and of playing politics with the war.

Sen. (Harry) Reid's interest is in protecting our troops and our national security and in bringing the war to an end. He is rightly responding to the American people by demanding a change in our failed policy in Iraq. He is right to insist that the Iraqis take responsibility for their own security and their own future and that our troops need to begin to withdraw from Iraq.

It is Vice President Cheney who has been wrong � and deadly wrong � about Iraq.

Even more, Vice President Cheney is the last person in the administration who should accuse anyone of making uninformed and misleading statements.

I have no respect for Cheney in light of the fact he refuses to acknowledge he , Cheney, has not a clue.
