Communist McGovern to Meet With Congress on War
McGovern to Meet With Congress on War
Breitbart.com
George McGovern, the former senator and Democratic presidential candidate, said Thursday that he will meet with more than 60 members of Congress next week to recommend a strategy to remove U.S. troops from Iraq by June.
If Democrats don't take steps to end the war in Iraq soon, they won't be in power very long, McGovern told reporters before a speech at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
"I think the Democratic leadership is wise enough to know that if they're going to follow the message that election sent, they're going to have to take steps to bring the war to a conclusion," he said.
McGovern will present his recommendations before the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a 62-member group led by Reps. Lynn Woolsey and Barbara Lee.
"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."
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.
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.
"I've talked with a lot of senior officers _ generals and admirals _ in preparation for this book, that say this war can't be won, that the problems now are not military problems," McGovern told reporters. "There isn't going to be any decisive victory in Iraq."
It is vital that Republican and Democratic legislators find common ground with one another and President Bush, McGovern said.
"Never let the new class of Democrats forget that they're there in considerable part because of the war the American public has now turned against," McGovern said. "That's going to have to be something that they have to explore with Republicans and with the White House."
McGovern, a former South Dakota congressman and senator, was a leading opponent of the war in Vietnam. He was the Democratic nominee for president in 1972, losing to Richard Nixon, and was ambassador to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome from 1998 to 2001.
Wild Thing's comment........
I thought this senile, old communist had died. Sheesh! They not only vote but now they are coming back from the dead. What's next, Jane Fonda for Secretary of Defense? They might as well just say it.........he is meeting with that bunch of Socialist/Communists buffoons who call themselves the "progressive" party.
I am so sorry to all of you troops that you have to be exposed to any thing even a tiny bit like McGovern. He is pure evil!
Thank you Darleen for adding to this photo of McGovern. I love what you did.

What can you say about a party that lives not only pre-911, but pre-1980, pre-1970, etc. in phases; they'll soon be dancing the Charleston in the halls of Congress, slipping a Moxie from from an "ice box" and cranking their cars to life in the parking lot. You can't actually say they're ending in farce, because farce is funny. This is pathetic, and scary at the same time.

...and I'm not done. Studying this photo of McGovern, I'm taken back to those old films where a bony hand pokes through the soil beneath a tombstone, and a guy like McGovern pops out, dripping worms.

You have nailed this one dead center, McGovern is a '60's Communist. If there is any doubt as to who is in power just look at who he is meeting with, those 62 memmbers of the CPC are Communists founded by Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Thanks to the mentality of McGovern and his minions we have had a no win philosophy since WWII. The enemy within has control and yes the soldiers must pay for their transgressions. If we pull out of Iraq now any soldier worth his salt will leave the service or retire because they will never get the support necessary to win. It's a shameful scene on this the 231st birthday of the United States Marines.
Happy Birthday Marines!!!!

I remember talking to a citzen of an Island. I was on location working on a film. The Island was run by the British, the economy was good, treatment of the natives was good. But they were occupiers, so the citizens had a bloodless revolution and threw them out. They rejoiced, people jumped up and down, they had a great time. There were parties all over the place.
But after a year, the economy was in caos! And the leaders were threatened with death. So they got together and hired the Birtish back to run the island. And the economy boomed once again.
This should be a lesson to the Democrats. Need I say more. haha

Yo Rhod what you said about McGovern. HAHAHAHA
It tweaks my brain they didn't put a news paper by him to show what date this was. Bet they just propped him up using one of the muppet trainers for motion.

Well, let's see... "lost to Nixon" doesn't come close to describing it. "Led the Democratic Party to one of its worst drubbings ever, even worse than Dukakis" is more like it. He couldn't even win his own home state, fer chrissakes. Yeah, Democrats, listen to him! Please!
