May 10, 2007 -- Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean today issued the following response to Vice President Dick Cheney’s press conference in Iraq:
“As casualties continue to mount, 35,000 more U.S. troops are being sent into a civil war in Iraq and our National Guard is stretched thin, making it difficult to respond to natural disasters here at home, the only solution Vice President Cheney and the Bush Administration offer is to stay-the-course. Democrats stand with our troops, the American people and military leaders as we work to ensure America changes course in Iraq. We want to work with President Bush and Republicans in Congress toward a solution but we will not support a blank check policy.”
