McGovern To Tell Congress How To Lose Iraq Like Vietnam

From the nostalgic hippies at the DNC’s Associated Press:

McGovern to Meet With Congress on War

Some comments on McG's "thoughts"

McGovern’s plan - as written in his new book, "Out of Iraq: A Practical Plan for Withdrawal Now" - also calls for the United States to remove hired mercenaries from the region, push for the removal of British troops and establish a temporary transitional force, similar to police, made up of Muslims from the region…

--->It didn’t take long, did it?

McGovern told the audience Thursday that the Iraq and Vietnam wars were equally "foolish enterprises" and that the current threat of terrorism developed because - not before - the United States went into Iraq.

--->Is Mr. McGovern senile? Or did he sleep through 9/11 and the scores of other terrorist attacks upon the US before March of 2003?

"The best way to reduce this insurgency is to get the American forces out of there, "McGovern said. "That’s what’s driving this insurgency."

--->Mr. McGovern is used to having the slaughter of millions of people abandoned by the US on his conscience. Another several million dead won’t faze him in the least.

McGovern’s plan - as written in his new book, "Out of Iraq: A Practical Plan for Withdrawal Now" - also calls for the United States to remove hired mercenaries from the region, push for the removal of British troops and establish a temporary transitional force, similar to police, made up of Muslims from the region.

--->It looks like Mr. McGovern slept through the last three years as well, since that is precisely what we have been doing.

--->By the way, this Solon couldn’t even run a bed and breakfast without going bankrupt. Is it any wonder?

--->But surely Representative Barbara Lee and the rest of the newly empowered Democrats will take heed of the great man’s insights.

--->He is preaching to the choir now
