Dean on Iraq [View All]

[Kevin Spidel]

(on edit) PDA has been getting a lot of emails/calls and internal discussion based on a statement Dean made this last week. We are tasked on what to do (if anything) about this. These questions are slanted, because many feel this is not a change of stance, but some do. Bear in mind this is not the opinion of PDA, myself, but of various concerns raised to us via www.pdamerica.org. This is an excersize to get a feeling of how DU'ers feel. In all honesty, all feedback helps. This is by no means scientific. It is a straw poll and gut check.

Do you agree with Primary Candidate Dean or Chairman Dean? Or is there a difference?

In the Primary he stated:

Remarks By Gov. Howard Dean (Democratic National Committee Winter Meeting Washington, DC February 21, 2003 / TRANSCRIPT) "What I want to know is why in the world the Democratic party leadership is supporting the president's unilateral attack on Iraq."

and just two days ago HE, now the "party leadership" stated this:

“Now that we’re there, we’re there and we can’t get out,” he told an audience of nearly 1,000 at the Minneapolis Convention Center. “The president has created an enormous security problem for the United States where none existed before. But I hope the President is incredibly successful with his policy now that he’s there.”
