Washington, DC—RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke issued the following statement today in response to a news conference by DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe.

“If former Secretary of State Madeline Albright is willing to mislead Americans by mischaracterizing a recent study saying ‘basically there are 18,000 more terrorists. And so it’s a little bit like every time we attack we create more of them,’ then it is a breeze for DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe to make false, misleading and inaccurate statements about a budget that does not yet exist.”

“The IISS said its estimate of 18,000 al-Qaida fighters was based on intelligence estimates that the group trained at least 20,000 fighters in its camps in Afghanistan before the United States and its allies ousted the Taliban regime. In the ensuing war on terror, some 2,000 al-Qaida fighters have been killed or captured, the survey said.”

Yes, and that's still 18,000 more terrorists than when Madeline Albright's boss took office.

She might have a point, every time she speaks she creates 18,000 more votes for Bush.

Sorry for being a grammar nazi, but that isn't even a complete sentence. It's not clear what he's trying to say.
