WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean issued the following statement on President Bush's address today to the United Nations General Assembly in New York:

"Today we heard more of the same rhetoric from a desperate President Bush who is worried more about his party's political prospects this November than about how to protect America and fight and win the real war on terror. The president's freedom agenda has been replaced by the era of incompetence. The Bush Administration's policies, including the disastrous handling of the Iraq War, have hurt America's credibility around the world and at home. The president and the Republican-controlled Congress took their eye off the ball by focusing on Iraq and letting North Korea and Iran grow stronger. After invading Iraq without UN support, President Bush now finds UN member countries wary of U.S. proposals on a range of issues from ending the genocide in Darfur to disarming Iran's nuclear program. President Bush and the Republicans' commitment to their failed foreign policies have stripped away our credibility with other nations, making America and the world less safe.

"At the same time, Republicans in Congress have rubber-stamped the president's failed agenda and repeatedly blocked Democratic attempts

One of Dean's aides wrote that before Bush even gave the speech!

[DarthVader]

Who's desperate and incompetent Howodd. You've been watching the polls and are crying as your chances of victory disappear daily.

My God, I really hope Howard Dean never steps down from being head of the DNC.

He is such a magnificent putz.

[eureka!]

This really inspires me to vote for the rats. ;^)

[shankbear]

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeechhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

dICK, YOUR EARS ARE LOOKIN FOR YOU.

[demkicker]

Howard Dean is one of the top ten most irrelevant men in the U.S. I'm so happy he's head of the DNC.

"Today we heard more of the same rhetoric from a desperate President Bush who is worried more about his party's political prospects this November than about how to protect America and fight and win the real war on terror.

"And remember, the Democrat solution as to how to fight the war on terror is...um...well..."

[Rummyfan]

Standard Dean-Dem boiler plate....... personally the only credibility that matters to me is that the Bad Guys know we will kick their asses if they try anything nasty on us again. That's American Credibility Howard!

[dirtboy]

He makes Terry McAuliff look good by comparison, and that's saying something.

[Edgerunner]

Didn't Howard get trounced in the primaries? I don't think he's much of a winner, much less competent!

[dirtboy]

"And remember, the Democrat solution as to how to fight the war on terror is...um...well..."

Howie will reveal that solution when one of their proposals can survive a focus group.

[Frank_Discussion]

Who farted?

[SF Republican]

I for one totally support Howard Dean, as long as he is head of the DNC anyway.

[liberty_lvr]

Oh yeah...

Way to show a united front on the day American Enemy #1 strolls the halls of Turtle Bay.

How very patriotic of you, Howard.

What a complete d!ckhead.

[The Blitherer]

All I saw was: "blah blah blah failed policy blah blah blah Iraq blah blah UN good blah Bush bad blah blah all about politics blah blah blah..."

[hophead]

This sounds like Deans stump speech, nothing new or no suggestions on how to do it better.

In a very weird way I wish the dems would take control of both houses and the WH to see what the hell would happen. Of course I would also have to find a nice piece of Montana to call my own and recede from the Union.

[capydick]

Man, talk about aid and comfort to the enemy, this jerk has no shame.

[shankbear]

fat bastard, I think

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

Isn't that pretty much what Crazy Howard says all the time, regardless of the circumstances? It's like you push a button and he talks.

Interesting -- last night I heard a clip of Obama in Iowa, and it was pretty much this statement verbatim.
