for some reason this was on my mind today
It's a transcript from last week on Democracy Now. Emphasis and bracket additions mine. It's actually really awesome hearing/watching it, so click the stream.
Democracy Now! | Fmr. Presidential Candidate George McGovern on the 2008 Race and How He Helped Transform the Democratic Nominating Process:AMY GOODMAN: [Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama] have not talked about immediate withdrawal [from Iraq].
GEORGE McGOVERN: No, they haven’t, and I wish they would. I wish-I’d like to have a time certain. I wrote a book with one of our best Middle East experts, Bill Polk, in which we called a year-and-a-half ago for a six-month withdrawal period. There’s no reason why it should take more than six months. People ask how we’re going to do it. One way to do it is to put them in trucks and head for the border. That’s how we got in there.
