McGovern's Stupidity

George McGovern is spouting his left-wing politics again. In a recent adition of the LA Times he has said that the US should surrender in Iraq! That, is not only incredibly stupid but also dangerous. There is no way we can surrender in this fight. The reprecussions would be absolutlely devasting. If we were to do so it would show to the terrorists that we are weak and cannot commit to fighting terrorism. That would invite numerous dangers in the forms of more attacks on our interests abroad and at home. I expect more out of MrMcGovern. He should know the intracacies of such national security matters, after all he did run for President.

And here is the text of the letter:

To the Editor,

I'm for keeping Donald H. Rumsfeld as secretary of defense because he is against increasing the number of American soldiers in Iraq. Sending more soldiers only means more targets for those Iraqis who don't want our army occupying their country.

I did not want any Americans to risk their lives in Iraq. We should bring home those who are there. So better Mr. Rumsfeld than some eager beaver who wants to double our army in the desert as we repeatedly did in the jungle to no avail in the 1960's and 70's. We toppled Saddam Hussein; as George Aiken, that wonderful old Republican senator, said of an earlier time of troubles, Declare victory and come home.

Once we left Vietnam and quit bombing its people, they became friends and trading partners. Iraq has been nestled along the Tigris and Euphrates for 6,000 years. It will be there 6,000 more whether we stay or leave, as earlier conquerors learned.

I tried to persuade Santa Claus to bring our troops home for Christmas, but he said, "No, Rumsfeld sees light at the end of the tunnel if we hang in there and don't listen to old veterans like McGovern."

Is there really a Santa Claus, Virginia? If so, why were 14 soldiers killed at lunch after a hard night searching for that light at the end of the tunnel?
