Stay The Course Or A New Direction?

Howard Dean on what’s at stake.

Tuesday, Americans have a choice between staying the course and a new direction for our country. After six years of Republican leadership, some Americans may be considering doing something they haven’t done in a long time. Vote for a Democrat.

If you vote for a Democrat on Tuesday, we will honor the trust you put in us with a new direction for America.

Isn’t it time for a new direction in Iraq?

The American people deserve political leaders who will ask the tough questions and make smart decisions about our foreign policy and homeland security, not just tough talk around election time. Sixteen intelligence agencies agree that the Bush administration’s failed Iraq policy is increasing terrorism around the world. Our brave troops have become occupiers caught in a civil war. Democrats are united behind a strategy of phased redeployment and benchmarks that make it clear to the Iraqis that they must take responsibility for the future of their country.

    Sarcasm.

    And yet the troops in the field say

    I know- you have a love/hate relationship with the Washington Post, but I’m surprised you haven’t slammed them for telling what the troops think on the day before an election. Maybe you haven’t read the Media Matters article on it yet. Oh- your bosses haven’t broached that subject yet.

    I know. I know. “Phased redeployment.” Based on…

    That’s odd, at the beginning of the year 72% said we should be out of there by the end of the year.

    OMG the Liberul media establishment is once again using our troops for their November Surprise!!!!! Just more evidence that the Liberul Media will stoop to any level to destroy Bush …

    Oh wait …

    God conservatives are morons.

  6. midderpidge says:

    If democrats take control of the pursestrings and just apply basic accounting on how the money is spent in Iraq, Bush will have no incentive to keep our troops there.

  7. Marty says:

    Yeah, Frame- I was pretty shocked that the survey saw the light of day. The irony of it all.

  8. factcheck says:

    So a few soldiers say pulling out would be a mistake. So what? How about what’s good for America for once? The troops work for us. We need them to protect us against real threats, not to be in the desert giving jihadists hands-on experience.

    …somebody’s going to jail for a very long time.

  10. Chris Tucker says:

    Everything that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, et al, predicted that would come to pass in Iraq after the invasion, hasn’t.

    Everything that Howard Dean predicted that would come to pass in Iraq, has.

    And Dr. Dean is the “crazy” one?
