Ellsberg Calls The One A Liar Like Nixon
This means that Obama has lost the important Stone Cold Traitor Wing of the Democratic Party.Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times 40 years ago, said Sunday in New Orleans that he had one regret about disclosing the secret history of America's involvement in Indochina: that he didn't do it sooner. Even though he said he voted for Barack Obama for president in 2008 and probably will do so again next year, he said Obama seems to be acting like his predecessors in being loath to withdraw from an unpopular war such as the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. "This is not a good year to lose in Afghanistan," he said. "This is not a good year to be charged, however foolishly or falsely, with being a loser or a quitter or weak. If you say you're withdrawing from Afghanistan or Iraq, and reduce (troop levels) slowly, the public will be off your back. The people will think ... he's moving in the right direction, which is false. The president plans to be out of Afghanistan fully by 2014. I believe that ... is as false as any lie told by (Richard) Nixon or (Lyndon) Johnson." Posted by: Matt 2011-06-28 |
