Ghost of Gen. Patton Speaks Out on Terror War

This Flash has some things to think about, and tends to reinforce the Chief's posting here. Check it out. H/T to Barking Moonbat Early Warning System for this one.

Of course the former Senator his happy and whatever efforts he did make are appreciated. And he also says the issue was not that big of a deal in the 2004 election. [Daschle] said Friday that he has helped the...

Educator working on Nobel Peace Prize nomination for McGovern+

Of note in this morning's Argus LeaderLoser:

A Florida professor is trying to get politicians, scholars and others to write letters that will help him with the paperwork to nominate former Sen. George McGovern for the Nobel Peace Prize. "He had always been one of my heroes," Robert Watson, a political science professor at Florida Atlantic University, said of McGovern, a three-term senator from South Dakota who was the Democratic Party's 1972 presidential nominee. "I can't think of a more compelling or deserving public figure for the causes of peace and alleviating world hunger than George McGovern."

The article continues with the expression of more such sentiments. The only question that occurs to the Chief is WHAT DID HE ACCOMPLISH? Anything specific at all? Anything except opposing Nixon and the Viet-nam war?

As far as that is concerned, even if the anti-war activism of the day was influential in causing the US to abandon aid to South Viet-nam, thereby enabling the Commie victory (thus ending the war), the "peace" that resulted in South Viet-nam, and even more so, Cambodia, had a greater resemblence to Auschwitz in terms of death than it did to anything most rational people would consider to be true peace....unless...it's just OK for Communists to do this sort of thing, since they're on the political left.

Nobel Peace Prize? The Chief would hope not...but given the state of Euro moonbats these days, it just might fly, especially if they use it as a means of jabbing the current GOP administration as resembling (in their minds) the dreaded Nixon.

Instapundit notes that the Anklebiters are rooting for the DLC in the coming Kos Kraziness Koundown, noting that they want a "stronger" opposition party. I'm rooting for them because I want a sane opposition party, which I guess is pretty...
