Dean: We Will Do What the American People Have Asked Us To Do and Bring Our Troops Home

[cal04]

Governor Howard Dean, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Chairman, delivers the Democratic radio address this week. Prior to the fourth anniversary of fall of Baghdad on Monday, Chairman Dean outlined the Democratic plan to get our troops out of the civil war in Iraq and urged President Bush to work with Democrats to end the war.

Text of the radio address:

(snip)
It is time for the President and Republicans in Congress to stop try to bully their way through this and work with Democrats to end the war. It's time for the President to show respect to the American people, who voted overwhelmingly to leave Iraq.

(snip)
Seventy one percent of the American people have made it clear they want to get out of Iraq. The American people are asking: How can the President continue to ignore our voice and the voices of military experts?

The answer is that he can't continue this way. He has forgotten the simple truth that the power he has is not his to keep, it is on loan from the American people. That's why Democrats have put forward a clear and reasonable plan to get our troops out of the middle of a civil war in Iraq.
