Chieftain, My Chieftain V
Why does the Pueblo Chieftain think the Democrats are not going to “Cut and Run” in Iraq?
The other day the Pueblo Chieftain published an article on how it was told, by the Democrats, that they thought last Tuesday’s election was....
....not a mandate for the U.S. to immediately withdraw from Iraq....
And it makes me wonder what sort of gullibility is going on in their offices.
This is especially true in light of the fact that on the same day it was reported that a number of Democrats from the new Congress were meeting with former presidential candidate George McGovern on how HE would deal with Iraq. McGovern, for those too young to remember, was the Democrat’s standard bearer for a rout from Viet Nam. His mentality of ‘cut and run’ has not diminished in the ensuing 30+ years. He’s even published a book on the matter.
They must have liked what they heard, because they’ve apparently invited him to speak again before their Congress.
Combine this with the revelation about the Baker Commission on Iraq and you get a pretty good idea of what they have in mind.
So, I ask....how is it that the Pueblo Chieftain is missing all these, as we would call them in the military, ‘indicators’?
I look forward to their explanation in a few short months.
UPDATE: No Sooner Said, Than.... [121325 Nov 06]: Here’s ANOTHER indicator.
UPDATE: And Another Indicator [122046T Nov 06]: How many more such reports do we need?
