Dean on 1000th Day of Iraq War

Washington, DC - Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean
issued the following statement on the occasion of the 1000th day of the
Iraq War:

"Today marks another solemn milestone in the War in Iraq. For the
last 1,000 days, America's brave men and women in uniform have served
with great courage. We owe them and their families a great deal.

"President Bush sent us to war without a clear plan to win the peace,
and now 1,000 days after the start of the war there is still no plan.
Democrats will continue to hold President Bush accountable for his
failed policies and his inability to be truthful with the American
people. America deserves better. Our troops deserve better. Policies
built on truth, on honest dealings with our soldiers, our citizens, and
our allies are much more likely to succeed than policies built on the
quicksand of deceiving the American people."

The war would still be a moral abomination even if there had been a plan to win the peace.

4. Our troops do "deserve

better"! And according to Jack Murtha's interview in "Rolling Stone"..

"It's the administration's deafness that has doomed Iraq"!
