Friday, June 03, 2005 McGovern: Modern Day Deep Throat Needed The US media needs a modern-day "Deep Throat" within Bush's administration to reveal how America was misled on Iraq, former presidential contender George McGovern said on Fox News Radio. "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. 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." Amen brother & now I know why my parents voted for you in '72. |
