Bush-Cheney '04 Announces Iowa Campaign Leadership
Oct 17, 2003
Des Moines - Bush-Cheney '04 announced on Friday its top campaign leadership team for the state of Iowa with National Campaign Manager Ken Mehlman and supporters from throughout the state of Iowa. The Bush-Cheney '04 Iowa Leadership Team will help build a network of grassroots support and serve as messengers for the President's re-election campaign.
"Our statewide leadership team is made up of a diverse group of men and women with a great understanding of both President Bush's compassionate conservative agenda and common sense policies that have a positive impact on the people of Iowa. They will play a key role in President Bush’s re-election efforts in this state," said David Roederer. Roederer will serve as Chairman of the Bush-Cheney '04 Iowa Leadership Team.
Roederer is a small business owner and recently served as the Economic Development Coordinator for Iowa State University.
"President Bush shares Iowa's priorities and has focused on strengthening the economy and creating jobs, protecting our homeland, reforming education and providing Americans with better access to affordable health care. The President’s strong leadership and common sense agenda resonate with the people of Iowa and he enjoys great support here," said Maria Nesbit, a homemaker from Des Moines who is serving as a Vice-Chair of the Bush-Cheney '04 Iowa Leadership Team.
Campaign Manager Ken Mehlman added, "Iowa will play an important role in this election. We are honored to have such a seasoned group of leaders at the helm of Bush-Cheney '04 in Iowa, and their efforts will be crucial to our success.
Senator Chambliss: Media Ignore Facts on WMD
In an op-ed in today's Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Senator Saxby Chambliss expresses his disbelief at the media coverage of Saddam's weapons of mass destruction programs. After reading Dr. Kay’s interim report, Senator Chambliss, a member of the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees, is more certain than ever of Saddam's weapons capabilities and his intent to use them:
The facts in Kay's report speak volumes about Saddam's capabilities and intent. When combined with the Halabja massacre and Saddam's use of chemical weapons against Iran in the 1980s, a very clear picture emerges of a criminal despot bent on acquiring and using weapons banned by the United Nations. ...
In the ongoing political frenzy, critics trying to sink their teeth into juicy headlines are thrashing from issue to issue, becoming less and less concerned whether their charges are true, as long as they push their message and get their sound bites on the network news. This approach only succeeds in muddying the waters and trivializing the hard, cold facts: Saddam's torture chambers, rape squads, mass grave sites, gassings of women and children, unprovoked regional wars and illegal weapons programs.
Read the rest of Senator Chambliss's thought-provoking editorial.

The (Finally) Emerging Republican Majority
From the October 27, 2003 issue: GOP officials don't like to talk about it, but they have become the dominant party.
by Fred Barnes
10/27/2003, Volume 009, Issue 07
AFTER THE 1972 AND 1980 ELECTIONS, Republicans said political realignment across the country would soon make them the dominant party. It didn't happen. Now, despite highly favorable signs in the 2002 midterm elections and the California recall, Republicans fear a jinx. Realignment? they ask. What realignment?
Matthew Dowd, President Bush's polling expert, notes heavy Republican turnout in 2002 and the recall, a splintering of the Democratic coalition, Republican gains among Latinos, and shrinking Democratic voter identification--all unmistakable signs of realignment. But he won't call it realignment. Whoa! says Bill McInturff, one of the smartest Republican strategists, let's not be premature. Before anyone claims realignment has put Republicans in control nationally, McInturff says, the GOP must win the White House, Senate, and House in 2004 and maybe even hold Congress in 2006. Bush adviser Karl Rove agrees. He recently told a Republican group that the realignment question won't be decided until 2004.
From The Detroit News
Op/Ed By U.S. Rep Peter Hoekstra
Special To The Detroit News
October 20, 2003
Much has been discussed recently about what David Kay, lead scientist of the Iraq Survey Group, has not found…
What we have not heard much about is what he has found.
The interim report … unambiguously confirms that Saddam Hussein's regime maintained a weapons program in material breach of 17 U.N. Security Council resolutions passed over 12 years. …
The group's report uncovers dozens of weapons of mass destruction-related program activities and significant amounts of equipment that Iraq concealed … during inspections that began in 2002.
…Kay and his group have discovered a clandestine network of biological laboratories and safe houses … a prison laboratory complex possibly used for biological weapons testing on humans, "reference strains" of biological organisms concealed … homes … as well as new research…
The group also found advanced design work on prohibited longer-range missiles and a covert capability to produce an illegal SCUD missile propellant. …
Testimony from Iraqi scientists and senior government officials makes it clear that Saddam remained firmly committed to acquiring nuclear weapons…
[I]t is important to remember that the interim report is a "snapshot" of an ongoing investigation, not a final determination. Kay and the 1,200-member … Group are still very much in the collection and analysis stage. …
Hussein left behind 130 known ammunition dumps measuring 50 square miles and containing 600,000 tons of artillery shells, rockets, aviation bombs and other ordnance… So far, they have only inspected 10 …
The team has been conducting its work under life-threatening circumstances. … Many Iraqis, who would otherwise cooperate, report threats and overt acts of intimidation by Saddam's loyalists. …
Systematic and deliberate dispersal and destruction of easily collectible material and forensic evidence related to weapons began before the war and continued afterward. …
There would be no reason for this intense type of concealment of activities unless they had incriminating evidence of their weapons of mass destruction programs in Saddam's regime. …
Even the bulkiest materials, in the quantities Kay states that he would expect to find, can be concealed in spaces not much larger than a two-car garage …
We need to allow the … Group to complete its report so we gain a clear understanding of the nature behind Saddam's chemical and biological programs and not rush to judgment for short-term political gain.
