Dean Says Those Who Misled Nation to War Should Resign
And be thrown in jail

Dean Says Those Who Misled Nation Should Resign Manchester, NH --

Governor Howard Dean issued the following statement today: "Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's statement yesterday -- that he only found out that the Niger documents were forgeries -- "within recent days" was stunning. "What is now clear is that there are those in this administration that misled the President, misled the nation, and misled the world in making the case for the war in Iraq. "They know who they are. And they should resign today. "There will be investigations, and the truth will come out - the American people must know the truth - and those in this administration must be held accountable for their failure to give us the truth before we went to war. "But we do not need to wait for the investigations to rid these people from our government - they can resign on their own today. "I am now convinced more than ever that it was a mistake to have given this administration a blank check to engage in this war - as too many in Congress did when they supported the Iraqi war resolution."

"I am now convinced more than ever that it was a mistake to have given this administration a blank check to engage in this war - as too many in Congress did when they supported the Iraqi war resolution."

My italics added.....

I think this may be the key phrase. Congress is bi-partisan, Dems and Repubs.....

Certainly not the same Howard Dean that was recently on NBC News: "Meet the Press".....:
www.msnbc.com...

This is nothing but Democratic maneovering...being there is an upcoming elction year, eh? The very same H. Dean that backed the President on the war against Iraq?!

No wonder the day time 'soup' show: "As the World Turns" has been so successful......

while his comments are welcome and warrneted -- Dean seems to be not much more than an opportunist since he is only tossing about rhetoric and not really doing anything (yet)

Agreed. He seems to be taking advantage of the situation. I dont think he really cares to tell you the truth. But you gotta admit the guy has balls. Bush is probably not gonna enjoy those comments.

God forbid that a candidate can actually make a sound statement without it being reduced to, and dismissed without further consideration, as " Maneuvering". While considering the source is one third of the due diligence any logical person gives to consideration of a statement, along with the desired outcome the speaker is trying to effect, you can't really say you've earned your stripes as a reasonable person unless you take stock of part III - the content, eh?
Your dismissal of a life & death issue for many of us who have family actively deployed as a 'soap opera' is too much of a trivialization.
