WASHINGTON — The high hurdles faced by congressional Democrats in their efforts to end the Iraq war make electing a Democratic president in 2008 the best way to finish the conflict, Democratic party chairman Howard Dean said Saturday.
He noted his party has made little progress toward ending the war, the cause, he said, that returned them to power.
"The American people hired Democrats last November to ensure that we end this war," Dean said during the weekly Democratic radio address. "So let me be clear, we know that if we don't keep our promise, we may find ourselves the minority again."
Dean put the blame for the lack of progress squarely on the White House and congressional Republicans for blocking his party's attempt at tying war funding to deadlines for troop withdrawals.
"We have to face the reality that Republicans in Congress are standing with President Bush as he stubbornly wields his veto pen," Dean charged. In response, he proposed that the "one way to truly ensure we end this war" was to elect a Democrat as president in 2008.

Note to Know Nothings. Who vetoed the Surrender Now bill passed by the Democrat Congress? Which group of Senators up held that veto?
Ah but that right. Don’t bother the Know Nothings with facts. Dogma Uber Alles!
The election of a Democrat very well may end U.S. involvement in the Iraq War, but the end of U.S. involvement = the intensification and widening of the war. Dean probably knows that, but I doubt he cares.

I thought Piglousy already solved all the problems with her peace road through Damascus trip...
So thankful this limp wristed bunch of Liberals was not in charge of the White House during WWII. We woulda been waving the WHITE FLAG instead of winning the war!
I thought they PROMISED to FIX everything that was wrong in the USA and the world if they were only elected and they were and what has changed and did they fix everything and give us peace on earth and happiness and all things wonderful and beautiful and is this now Utopia.... gasp catch a breath.... Looks to me like they are just full of promises and lies, just full of it!!!!!!!!!!
Be truly honest Howard and consider yourself an idiot.
“Howard Dean Says Electing Democrat Only Way to End Iraq War”
... and America... all with one vote!
LLS
I have a sneaking suspicion that the status of the Berlin Wall would be different today if the Dem's were to be in power with a POTUS in the '80's also.
You people are slipping.
We didn’t end up that far from it when all was said and done.
They WERE in charge back then too! Total isolationists. We didn't start our war support untill Adolph attacked Unca Joe. Then lookout, it became our biznatch then. This should have been a BIG tell on just who the dims, and media are in bed with.
You are correct of course. They made promises they knew they couldnt keep when they made them.
What is worse is that it worked for them once, and they believe the Americans who voted them in are stupid enough to fall for the same lie again.
Ya know what? I bet they are right. They will return in 2008 as the majority in both sides of the Congress,but I dont believe they can force feed Hillary or Obama “The Magic Negro” down the throats of Conservatives,if we have a real Conservative such as Fred Thompson or Duncan Hunter as our Candidate.
Victory is another alternative.
Hey liberals: If you like Darfur, you’ll LOVE Iraq if we run away.
LOL!
What ever became of John Kerry’s secret plan?
Yep Howard and we know how you'll do it too!
