Dean On Bush's Disappearing Credibility On Iraq
Washington, DC - Yesterday, White House Press Secretary Tony Snow continued the false rhetoric of President Bush and Vice President Cheney and announced that "there is not a civil war going on" and that there has been "improvement" on the ground in Iraq. But, these latest pronouncements contradict a report prepared by the Defense Intelligence Agency on August 3rd which indicated that the "number of roadside bombs exploded or found in Iraq rose in July to the highest monthly total since the war began." In addition, last month was the deadliest month of the Iraq War, as an average of more than 110 Iraqis were killed each day in July. The New York Times also quoted a senior defense official, who concluded that the "insurgency has gotten worse by almost all measures." [New York Times, 8/17/06]
