DEAN SAYS THOSE IN ADMINISTRATION WHO MISLED NATION SHOULD RESIGN


Manchester, NH – Former Vermont Governor Howard Dean issued the following statement today:

“Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's statement yesterday – that he only found out that the Niger documents were forgeries – “within days” was stunning.

”What is now clear is that there are those in this administration that misled the President, misled the nation, and misled the world in making the case for the war in Iraq.

”They know who they are. And they should resign today.

”There will be investigations, and the truth will come out – the American people must know the truth – and those in this administration must be held accountable for their failure to give us the truth before we went to war.

”But we do not need to wait for the investigations to rid these people from our government – they can resign on their own today.

”I am now convinced more than ever that it was a mistake to have given this administration a blank check to engage in this war – as too many in Congress did when they supported the Iraqi war resolution.”

Am I missing something here?

The incomparable Aziz P. has kindly invited me to post here in addition to my usual perches at Liberals Against Terrorism and Chez Nadezhda . For that, I thank him, and I hope that I do him credit. Like perhaps most readers of this site, I'm not a fan of the Bush Administration. Last year I devoted a goodly portion of my life to ousting it, including a trip to freezing cold Cedar Rapids and Waterloo, Iowa, where I canvassed for the Dean Campaign in the runup to the caucuses. I admit that I lost faith in the Dean movement after that, and I floundered around a bit in trying to figure out who to support, eventually setting upon Johnny Sunshine Edwards (or was it Clark?). I have never been a big fan of John Kerry, to say the least. It's tempting to fall into cynical sniping, which I myself have done at times. But I find it dispiriting and ultimately corro
