John Edwards Speaks at Georgia Democrats Annual Dinner
By Matthew Cardinale

(APN) ATLANTA – Former US Sen. John Edwards (D-NC), a 2008 Presidential Candidate, spoke at this year’s Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, an annual function of the Democratic Party of Georgia.

“I look at what America is confronted with... the open sore that is Iraq. America needs to be leaving Iraq,” Edwards said in his remarks.

“Democrats have met their responsibility... sent a bill to the President. I think Congress should send the President another bill. If he vetoes it, send him another bill. If he vetoes it, send him another bill. If he vetoes it, send him another bill.”

“The world thinks of America as a bully. This has to change,” Edwards said.

“The President during his first 90 days in office needs to travel the world and speak to the world,” he said.

“There’s genocide in West Sudan, in Darfur. This is what the world sees: The most powerful country declared genocide... but stands by and watches.”

“We’re better than this. We’re not the America of Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib,” Edwards said.
