Carl Levin Embarrasses Himself

I watch all of what they showed of Carl Levin's speech on CNN this morning. He outlined his agenda now that he's to be Chairman of the Armed Services Committee. It was worth watching since he pretty much spent the whole time embarrassing himself.

A few choice moments: He chose to bring up the liberal myth of "no oversight" of the War in Iraq under the Republican Congress. Guess he missed this post on Protein Wisdom thoroughly debunking that.

He also mentioned the liberals' plan to cut-and-run, saying they will be attempting to withdraw troops in six months time.

He also showed that he is either an utter demagogue or a complete idiot. He said, "We can't save the Iraqis from themselves." The threat in Iraq isn't from Iraqis, it's from terrorists who have flooded into the country in a Jihad against America. We can save the Iraqis from the terrorists by killing all of the terrorists. Running away with our tail between our legs will only embolden the terrorists as they crush Iraq and turn it back into an Islamic theocracy.

Can't wait to see the new Congress in action with jokers like this running things...
