"The idea that the United
States is going to win the war in Iraq is just plain
wrong," National Democrat Chairman Howard Dean
said.
"Howard Dean should be arrested
and hung for treason or put in a hole until the end of
the Iraq war!" radio commentary and son of Ronald
Reagan, Michael Reagan told his Radio America audience
on Monday.
Republican Chairman Ken Mehlman
said Dean's "outrageous prediction sends the wrong
message to our troops, the enemy, and the Iraqi people
just 10 days before historic elections."
" ... And there is no reason,
Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going
into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night,
terrorizing kids and children, you know, women,
breaking sort of the customs of the - of - the
historical customs, religious customs." Sen. John
Kerry said.
"Oh, there's pessimists, you
know, and politicians who try to score points. But our
strategy is one that will lead us to victory,"
President Bush said.
