~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The parallels between the mistakes being made today in Iraq and the behavior of our government a generation ago are striking. Troops are sent to fight by an administration that refuses to listen to the advice of military leaders. The Administration decides it's ok to conceal information from the Congress and the American people. Promises like "stay the course" "Peace is at Hand" or "the insurgency is in its last throes" are made by an increasingly desperate Administration.
....................
The words "cut and run" don't belong in this debate. That's a disservice to our courageous soldiers. This debate is about not making the same mistakes our Government made a generation ago.

Democrats believe it's time for a new direction in Iraq that's tough and smart, and we offer America a security strategy that's tough and smart.

This is Gov. Howard Dean proud of our troops, and proud to be part of a party offering America a new direction.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When George Bush's actions were making it increasingly difficult for me to proudly call myself an American, along came Howard Dean. When he spoke of the america that *could* be, he reawakened my patriotism. Maybe he awakened yours too.

This Independence Day, I am thankful to Howard Dean for continuing to give 110% toward restoring our country's greatness and our sense of community.
