New 'Deep Throat' needed for Iraq, says Nixon rival (McGovern - Another LOSER Speaks!)

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US media needs a modern-day "Deep Throat" within the administration of President George W. Bush to reveal how America was "misled" on Iraq, former presidential contender George McGovern said.
"We need someone like that who is highly placed to tell us what's really going on. We know that we were misled on Iraq," McGovern told Fox News Radio.
McGovern, a former senator, unsuccessfully ran against Richard Nixon for the White House in 1972.
Deep Throat, revealed this week as former FBI assistant director Mark Felt, acted as a source to The Washington Post newspaper, helping to bring down Nixon's presidency over the Watergate scandal in 1974.
"I wish there were somebody of the Deep Throat time in this administration who are aware of what's going on," McGovern told Fox News Radio.
"This war in Iraq, in my opinion is worse than anything Nixon did. I think Nixon deserved to be expelled from office in view of the cover-up that he carried on and the laws that he violated.
"But we have an administration in power now that led us to a war that is internationally illegal; it's a war that we are fighting with a country that has no threat to us that has nothing to do with the 9-11 attacks.
McGovern said Nixon was undoubtedly "tricky," but said of Bush: "This man claims to be Christian, following the will of God, and then he misleads the whole nation on a totally fraudulent enterprise in Iraq that we should have never been attached to."

So I guess they want Cheney as president? LOL I guess they do. They are sooo desperate for revenge against Bush that they don't even realize that they will have Cheney for president if (god forbid) Bush got impeached. Do they really think they are going to win an impeachment? It will never happen. Let them make stupid fools of themselves. Well next week is going to be interesting.

He can be defeated with two sharp actions:
1. "Mr. Kerry, haven't you read the intelligence report prepared by a bipartisan committee of this chamber describing the history of intelligence gathering on this matter?"
2. "Mr. Kerry, when you voted for war in 1998, the Iraq Liberation Act, you declared Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Do you believe the Clinton Administration lied to you as you accuse the Bush Administration?"
I doubt these will be pursued. The lefty meme about "fixing" intelligence has gained hold despite all evidence against. The "exaggerating intelligence" started in January 2003 by DNC talking points, perhaps influenced by French-hired PR firms seeking to avoid the war. The attack focused on the weakest link, the nuclear accusations, yet all the accusers, such as Joe Wilson, believed there were some WMD's - but didn't justify a war. The matter that the inside accusers of Bush believed there were WMD's anyway is an unstudied matter in the media, just like anything else about the US-Iraq relationship pre-Bush II.FRAME THAT!!!!
We will likely need it!

The Amurkin pipple hadn't gotten wise to the fundamental anti-americanism of the murkin media in 1972-4. They have now. In Izvestia is no Pravda and in Pravda is no Isvestia.

If the loony left were to make a serious attempt to get Bush impeached do you suppose the Republican "moderates" would go along just to show their wonderful spirit of bipartisanship and collegiality? The only one I know who will go along with it most definitely will be Rep. Walter Jones (Freedom Fries) who recanted and said now he thinks Bush misled us.

Re: Cheney as president....
He would probably run for a full term in 2008, and start out with an edge. So on the 1 in a million chance they were to remove Mr Bush from office, it would only hurt their electoral chances even more. Heh heh.

There's no way an 'Rat-introduced impeachment motion will ever pass in the House--unless John McCain and six other resign their Senate seats and wins House seats.
Four and a half years of strident Bush bashing accompanied by a string of humiliating losses. The 'Rats are amazing. Keep up the good work!

McGovern, another Rat traitor.

McGovern has said his share of outrageous things but I'm inclined to cut him some slack because of his WWII service, flying very dangerous bombing missions over enemy territory. He seems to me more a well-meaning Neville Chamberlain-style dupe than a conscious Benedict Arnold-type traitor. In terms of It's a Wonderful Life, he's more Uncle Billy than Mr. Potts.
To: Verginius Rufus
Past military performance is no guarantee of future performance. If you talk like a traitor, you are one.
