GOP Congressman compared Iraq to Detroit and Chicago



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

When was the last time George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice or any of the other clowns had to make a "surprise visit" to Detroit or Chicago?:

A Republican congressman from Michigan said parts of Iraq are no more dangerous than Detroit, drawing the ire of the mayor's office and the state Democratic Party.

During an interview Monday with WILS-AM, Rep. Tim Walberg said the returning troops he has talked with "indicate to me that 80 to 85 percent, in a conservative fashion, of the country is reasonably under control, at least as well as Detroit or Chicago or any of our other big cities. That's an encouraging sign."
Actually, the real encouraging sign will take place tomorrow when the U.S. House votes to finally change the course. No doubt, Rep. Walberg will stick with the GOP and vote to keep the troops there indefinitely -- without a plan.
