Representatives Jim McDermott (D-WA), David Bonior (D-MI), and Mike Thompson (D-CA). In 2002, the three Congressmen visited Baghdad to play defense for Saddam Hussein’s regime.
There, McDermott laid the groundwork for the Democratic Party’s later rip on President George W. Bush, stating, “the president of the United States will lie to the American people in order to get us into this war.” McDermott, along with his colleagues, suggested that the American administration give the Iraqi regime “due process” and “take the Iraqis on their face value.” Bonior said openly he was acting on behalf of the government.
They play the game ruthlessly. When they have the White House, they let the international situation go to hell, helping it along when they can.
Then when the grownups take over the White House, they undermine attempts to clean up the attempts. If it turns into combat, they turn into anti-war doves, pull the rug out from under the effort, and turn the whole fiasco into a chance to increase their own power.
Of course, when you've got the MSM, universities, foundations, big-money puppetmasters like Soros and Buffett, and foreign powers on your side, all kinds of things are possible.
Jim McDermott, who is still “serving” in Congress deserves nothing more than to be blindfolded and stood up against a wall.
