Dean: Jones Report Shows We Need to Change Course In Iraq
"General Jones' report on the weak state of Iraqi security forces is one more sign that President Bush's strategy in Iraq is not working.

President Bush and his Republican allies want to cherry-pick the facts, but the way forward is clear. It's long past time to change course in Iraq."

Presidential candidates are bullish on him, some to the point of gaga. Even Mitt Romney, the only GOP candidate capable of insulting France in fluent French, thinks Sarkozy might be a "blood brother." John McCain has met him at least twice. Rudy Giuliani feels a special kinship with the conservative Frenchman because Sarkozy was once his country's top cop, and because another nickname for the president is "the French Rudy."........more
