DNC Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement:

"Facing an historic opportunity for leadership, George Bush turned to the
darkness of divisiveness, attempting to garner support for his failed policies
by pandering to fear, rather than inspiring us with a plan for hope. He had an
opportunity to show the same courage our troops and their families show every
day, and he failed. We still have no clear path for success, Osama Bin Laden is
still free, and Iran and North Korea are still actively pursuing nuclear
weapons. Democrats will continue to press for answers, we will continue to
fight to ensure our troops and their families have the resources they need and
we will keep our promise to our veterans when they return home."

A Hardball Exclusive: For the first time Howard Dean speaks out on the President's new military agenda. Chris plays Hardball with Dean, asking if his Democratic Pary has a better alternative to the President's plan.

9. President's "NEW" military agenda???!!!

Last night was nothing by the SAME OLD SHIT!
Is this how the CorpoMedia is going to spin it??

[NYCGirl]

12. He doesn't even have an OLD military agenda. There IS no GOP plan. NT

19. This should be very rewarding!

Dean should be quite acerbic & I will get a warm fuzzy feeling. He will pummel him on the VA shortfalls this year and next!

16. As much as I can't stand Tweety...

Thanks for the heads-up. :)

3. Has anyone else noticed

the cohesion in the democrats' message about Shrub's speech? It's like, OMG, we are speaking with one voice!!! Dean, Biden, Kerry, Kennedy - they've all said essentially the same thing. It's like we are communicating w/in the party and sending a unified message. Or something.

Are we getting together, finally?

7. This statement is beautiful...

It's simple, to the point, and I love it. I'm not the biggest Dean fan, but I'm really starting to love him as head of the DNC.

10. "... We still have no clear path for success,

"Osama Bin Laden is still free, and Iran and North Korea are still actively pursuing nuclear weapons. Democrats will continue to press for answers, we will continue to fight to ensure our troops and their families have the resources they need and we will keep our promise to our veterans when they return home."

Tell it like it is, Howard!

11. A great concise and clear statement. Perfect pitch. n/t

13. This is what I complained about last week, and Dean is doing what I wanted

Mainly, that is to say he is hammering Bush on not even having a plan to get us out of the war he started.

Enough of this "Dems have no plan" BS!

Lets hear what Bush has to offer!

14. Now that's leadership. -nt

Peace.

[LightningFlash]

20. Hahaha this I gotta see!!!!

Finally the corporate shill media caves, and Tweety with 'em. Lets see if he gives Dean's good plan we give him EQUAL coverage, as an appropriate answer to get us out of shithole central.

:thumbsup: :D :D

21. Minor nit to pick

Iran is not going after nuclear weapons according to Scott Ritter, who has been right about most things in the past few years. NK is a very different story.
