OT THE LAME DUCK quacks tonight -- Dean says, "whats your exit strategy?"

Dean Says Bush Must Use Speech to Articulate A Realistic Strategy

With his disapproval rating at its highest level since he took office
and a majority of Americans questioning the President's credibility on
the Iraq issue, President Bush will address the nation tonight from
Fort Bragg.

In a statement DNC Chairman Howard Dean said the President should
abandon his well-worn political attempts to cloud the truth about the
situation in Iraq and lay out a realistic framework for the future
withdrawal of American troops.

"President Bush's refusal to confront the facts and articulate a plan
has put our country - and our troops - in greater danger," said Dean.
"Tonight, the president should use the occasion of his nationally
televised address to abandon his political strategy of clouding the
truth about Iraq and come clean with the American people, and most
importantly, the American troops about our exit strategy,"

CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll: Bush Disapproval Rating Highest Ever.

"The number of Americans disapproving of President Bush's job
performance has risen to the highest level of his presidency, according
to the CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Monday. According to the
poll, 53 percent of respondents said they disapproved of Bush's
performance, compared to 45 percent who approved." [CNN, 6/28/05]

Washington Post/ABC News Poll: Bush's Credibility Gone; Majority of
Public Believes Bush Deliberately Mislead Them in Run Up to War.

"For the first time, a narrow majority -- 52 percent -- said the
administration deliberately misled the public before the war, a
nine-point increase in three months. Forty-eight percent said the
administration told the public what it believed to be true at the
time...Americans remain negative in most of their assessments about the
cost of the war." [Washington Post, 6/28/05]

Washington Post/ABC News Poll: American Public Disapproves of Bush
Administration’s Overall Performance in Iraq.

"By a narrow margin, the public continues to think the war has not been
worth the cost and bigger majorities fear that Iraq has crippled the
ability of the United States to respond to conflicts elsewhere in the
world and has damaged efforts to recruit young people into the
military.

A large majority, roughly six in 10 people, say the U.S. is "bogged
down" in Iraq. Overwhelming majorities of Americans think the Bush
administration and U.S. military leaders fundamentally underestimated
the difficulty of the war and failed to anticipate the tenacity of the
insurgency in Iraq." [Washington Post, 6/28/05]

Can we assume Dean had never watched any of the Presidents press
conference?

The President has laid out the strategy from the beginning. A
provisional government, election of an interim government to
adopt a constitution then election. All of which were completed
on time, even though the neo fascist on the evil left said none
of that would happen. The election of the Iraq government will
take place as scheduled, as well. When that government is in
place and it passes a national budget to employ and train their
own army, our troops will start to leave Iraq and not one day
sooner.


The democrats will not succeed in separating the war in Iraq for
the war on terror, no matter how hard the continue to try. The
US will win the war on international Islamic terrorist in Iraq
and where ever else they may be, just as the President said in
2001 and before the election, even if it takes ten years as he
has often said as well..
