Monday, Dec. 5, 2005 8:05 p.m. EST DNC's Dean: U.S. Will Lose War in Iraq
Democratic Chairman Howard Dean on Monday likened the war in Iraq to Vietnam and said, "The idea that the United States is going to win the war in Iraq is just plain wrong," comments that drew immediate fire from Republicans.
In an interview with WOAI-AM in San Antonio, Dean criticized what he called President Bush's "permanent commitment to a failed strategy" while saying, "We need to be out of there and take the targets off our troops' back." Dean suggested "a strategic redeployment" of U.S. troops over the next two years.
"I wish the president had paid more attention to the history of Iraq before we had gotten in there," Dean said. "The idea that we're going to win this war is just plain wrong."
Republican Chairman Ken Mehlman said Dean's "outrageous prediction sends the wrong message to our troops, the enemy, and the Iraqi people just 10 days before historic elections."

Why is newsmax always 24 to 48 hours late on reporting the news. Why they do exist in business is beyond me.

LOL!
Seems Dean's been invited to tehran to meet thug-in-chief Ahmed Nezhad. Of course, aid and comfort to the enemy is a creed any ambitious Dem knows only too well....

I do not intent this to be pessimistic, but how can this country survive with such blatant and open traitors at the very top of our ranks????
To: InvisibleChurch
Yeah, sure Howie. We're going to lose against the most ineffective, idiot "insurgency" in human history.
Sure, popping off an IED makes liberals cringe in fear. But we're killing the liberals' favorite terrorists at a ratio of 25 to 1.

Kerry's comments were more insulting yesterday - said that our Army is terrorizing children, women... And then the idiot said that it should be Iraqi troops doing the terrorizing.

The Dems really outdid themselves, yesterday. My favorite, though, was Hillary telling her audience that noone wanted to hear from them. so much for democracy and the will of the people.
To: Go Gordon
So, basically if any Mid-East country were to declare war on us (the way the Democrats apparently would want them to, ie, they filled out the "yes, I am going to war" forms at the U.N.)
....the U.S. would lose.
Is this what the Democrats are saying?
