Republican chairman booed at AJCommittee event

The chairman of the Republican Party was booed at an American Jewish Committee event over comments on Iraq.
Ken Mehlman, who is Jewish, said Iraq posed less of a challenge now than under Saddam Hussein.

Mehlman was otherwise politely received when he spoke Tuesday at the AJCommittee’s 100th anniversary celebrations in Washington, and he got warm applause when he said the Bush administration would not tolerate an Iranian nuclear bomb and always would stand by Israel.

The room burst into applause, however, when AJCommittee board member Edith Everett asked Mehlman to “take a message” to President Bush to stop linking Israel and Iran.

2. The AP has some of his remarks

The Republican National Committee chairman said the United States must remember the lessons of World War II.

"When we wait until an attack is imminent, we have waited too long," he said.

Mehlman defended the progress in Iraq despite insurgent attacks and one of the deadliest months for U.S. troops. He said more than 30,000 new Iraqi business have registered since Saddam Hussein was toppled and Iraqis are using credit and debit cards as well as ATMs.

"Property values have risen over 1000 percent in the last three years," Mehlman said. "These are important steps for the new Iraq."

4. Wow they are desperate...he actually used WWII....um

unfortunately for the US we had warning from one of our outposts but the technology we were using was so new that no one trusted it yet, the US also intercepted communications that a big event was coming...they didn't know what the event was..

...Ken Mehlman you fucking moran...We had months of warning about 9/11 your administration chose to ignore it...
