LINCOLN, Nebraska — George McGovern, the former senator and 1972 Democratic presidential candidate, said 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 Thursday before a speech at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Is this from The Onion?
This sorry little sack of crap should have been tried for treason 30 years ago and hanged.
That's a GREAT idea, Dems! Sign up a LOSER to advise you.
Oh, and he's recommending a timetable too. June. How thoughful. MF!
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but do these guys get to decide foreign policy? I thought that was the job of the Commander in Chief.
Already posted from Drudge, please pull...
So, the democrats new direction emerges. Turns out, it is the same as their old direction. Take heart, the democrats won initial victories with this anti-war stance before only to have the consequences of their actions blow up in their faces. Go McGovern democrats and go hard. I am rooting for you.
Well at least the Democrats are looking to experts of retreat. They have meetings also scheduled with the French.
Pat Cadell was right. The democrats would take power but only manage to hold it for two years because they're nuts.
Do the Democrats have any respect for this guy? Even in the midst of Watergate, Richard Nixon pounded this guy in a landslide.
Growing up, it was told that Democrats got us into war and Republicans got us out of war. Will the Dumbocrats now lead us into a World War? Will the Republocrates have to save us? Crazy times we live in.
Oh FGS
Oh, another loser coming to help them?
Higher taxes, gay marriage,Islamic studies,minimum wage increases every month,reparations for slavery, last
helicopter out of Iraq,endless investigations,impeachment,all is coming to fruition.
Excellent!! I hope the MSM, in their ignorance, leads this evening newscasts with this tidbit.
Who made this loser an expert on Iraq. He is however right about one thing. If the Democrats dont get the troops out of Iraq they are in trouble. Its what they won with. Now they are stuck with it. Rots o' ruck.
You wanted this you got it.
Are they going to dismantle our military before or after we redeploy from Iraq?
In other words he promotes the Cut And Run strategery
All the democrats can do is defend the war. They'll put the troops in mortal danger without funding. The troops will have no supplies. They'll be sitting ducks.
I feel like I'm in a time warp from the 60/70's

You are in a time warp. Didn't you hear? History ended in 1972.
Why should it pulled? The link in Drudge is from Breitbart
Between McGovern coming out to tell the DEMS how to run a war...
And Biden and Chafee announcing that "no way" is Bolton going to get confirmed...
I say that this is going to be FUN to watch..as long as Pres. Bush keeps his hardline on Iraq and the terrorists...
These DEMS cannot behave...they are SO excited about getting the "power", that they won't be able to hold back their normal inclination to do what YOU always say, Mo1
Let the overreaching begin!!! LOL
I know ain't it groooooovy! ;0)
The minute the dems come up with their exit strategy for Iraq they'd better start working on the same for Afghanistan. Because, once they have given alQeada terrorists the template on how to defeat America with a combination of wanton killing, media support and liberal collaboration no place on earth will ever be terror free again.
I can't find scrappleface listed anywhere there.
That's okay. Being true it makes me laugh even harder.
OMG...he's back. What a nightmare.
They are trying to figure out if they just wave one white flag or have everyone have their own white flag.
He's obviously ready to discuss terms of surrender...
LOL!
THE ULTIMATE SURRENDER MONKEY!
LLS
That sad part is...during the 60's and 70's...I didn't have "hips" to wear hip hugger skirts and pants...it broke my heart.
NOW I have the hips!! Dang.
I can remember my mother having "fierce" discussions with my aunts when he ran for President. My aunts loved McGovern & my Mom strongly supported Nixon. It made for interesting holiday gatherings! ;o)
McGovern to Pelosi: When you have the troops leave Iraq make sure they hold their white flags in the left hand and bow three times to Mecca before they get on the planes.
Yea .. I got that problem too LOL!
Bush will sign executive orders extending essential services and Military funding, allowing the dims to shutdown government. Bush will hammer the dims as being at fault and not able to govern in America's best interest.
'toon did the same thing and it worked far too well against US.
LLS
Mr. McGovern lost every State except Massachusetts. And we know Massachusetts will vote for anybody. So this obviously qualifies him to give advice on Iraq. As I said before, the Democrats are suffering from Vietnam flashbacks. So they call in McGovern to solve the problem for them. Next, Jimmy Carter will negotiate with Iran.
Like the thread "Will Iraq be like Saigon?" it's obvious that the Democrats MUST do as their liberal constituency demands -- and pull out of Iraq.
I would guess by mid-summer next year we will start seeing a substantial pull-out of troops, and a measured defunding of the "War."
I outline this scenario at www.mygration.blogspot.com
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but do these guys get to decide foreign policy? I thought that was the job of the Commander in Chief.
The only power these poeple have is to cut off funding. They are going to step in it big time if they go this route.
Okay, don't pull it. Thanks.
OMG reminds me of a joke. My post will probably be pulled for this though.
Q How many Democrats does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A Democrats can't screw in a lightbulb because they are still looking for a politically correct way to say the word screw.
What on earth is more cowardly than cut and run? George McGovern will know...
