Dean On Bush's Disappearing Credibility On Iraq

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement on the President's disappearing credibility on Iraq:

"President Bush and his Administration have no credibility left when it comes to the war in Iraq, yet they continue to engage in partisan attacks, misleading the American people about the real state of affairs in Iraq. The disclosure of this latest report outlining growing chaos and violence in Iraq undermines the President's deceptive proclamations that things are going smoothly in Iraq. The Bush Administration should release this report so that the American people can have an accurate assessment of the facts on the ground, not more White House propaganda. While Iraq continues to slip into civil war and hamper our ability to fight the war on terror, Osama bin Laden is still on the loose, the Taliban is gaining ground in Afghanistan and Al Qaeda has set up shop in Pakistan.

"A majority of Americans now believe that the war in Iraq was a mistake and agree with Democrats' call to begin responsible redeployment of our troops so that we can fight and win the war on terror. Republicans in Congress have rubber-stamped the President's failed policy and refused to hold him accountable for his commitment to a failed strategy in Iraq. But, in November, the American people will hold Republicans responsible for their inept leadership and continued support for Bush's bad policies."
