George Mc Govern is still America's conscience
At 82, the old peace warrior is still on the trenches, this time interrogating Bush on his "fool's errand" in Iraq:
And, Mr. President at a time when your most respected generals have concluded that the chaos and conflict in Iraq cannot be resolved by more American dollars and more American young bodies, do you ever consider the needs here at home of our own anxious and troubled society? What about the words of another true conservative, General and President Dwight Eisenhower who said that, "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed."
Read his speech at the National Press Club and rejoice in his steady voice of reason and passion.
