Former Presidential Candidate George McGovern to Discuss Iraq Exit Strategy With Democrats  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. Cut and RunIf 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. They will be replaced by the Flat Earth Society |

| #7 The current military budget for this 07' is already done so all they really could do is try to cut off all money to the troops (with them in the field) in 08' months before a ELECTION bahahaha RIIIgghhtttt. Talk about Political Suicide and for a power first Dems aint going to happen. You're overestimating their intelligence. I mean, c'mon, Alcee Hastings for chair of Intel? |

| #6 "If Democrats don't take steps to end the war in Iraq soon, they won't be in power very long" I love it, I would add "and if they do force our retreat/defeat (something I doubt they really can do explain later) they will utterly destroy any hope they have of ever being reelected." The Congress/Senate cannot force Bush to withdrawl the forces he is still the president in charge of the executive branch. The current military budget for this 07' is already done so all they really could do is try to cut off all money to the troops (with them in the field) in 08' months before a ELECTION bahahaha RIIIgghhtttt. Talk about Political Suicide and for a power first Dems aint going to happen. This show is going to be funny becuase the Dems can't just sit in the middle and cry complain playing both sides no more they have both houses in the Congresstional branch, now the Dems are forced to f*ck someone, is it going to be the LLL radical base or will it be the American people. Some will say it will be the american people but I would say remember most of these Dems voted for the war before they changed thier mind and most of thier new reps are rather "conservative" who many outright ran on a NO cut and run stradegy. My opinion the Dems are not idealogical they are power first at any cost people. They wont screw their political future on principles "they don't have any". McCovern, Sheenan, Huffington, Murtha, ect.. are all about to get it raw dog. My popcorn is dusted off and ready I have not had this much expected fun since the first word of the Anbar tribes forming up to kill AQ/Bathist on the Syrian border. whole new meaning to RED on RED. |

| #5 [sarc]If the Democrats have their way, today's generation will soon get to experience the thrill of national pride we oldsters felt on April 30, 1975.[/sarc] I'm not laughing; these assholes really mean to re-live that moment of national shame. |

| #4 George McGovern? Goddam! How far down under the rock did they have to go to dig his irrelevant ass up? Is Jimmy Carter still on his Nicaraguan vacation? |

| #1 Beautiful. Gotta love it when the Donks work so hard to remind people of what loons they are. It's gonna be a rough two years, but 2008 should be a bloodbath. Providing the Republicans can get their heads out, of course. |
