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.

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.

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.
To: OKSooner
Well at least the Democrats are looking to experts of retreat. They have meetings also scheduled with the French.
To: OKSooner
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.

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.
Wow and the moonbats probably believe that...pass the koolaid.

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.

If I were a democrat I would propose bussing our new undocumented voter block up from Mexico, and I suspect big
