DOUBLE DOWN, DR. DEAN

NEW YORK POST
Editorial
December 8, 2005

So, while predicting — calling for? — the defeat of American troops in Iraq, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard "le Weasel" Dean simultaneously boasted that his party would soon come together on his proposal to bring 80,000 National Guard and Reserve soldiers home immediately.

Now, it's not likely that the Democrats can come together over much of anything — especially national security.

And it remains to be seen whether anything that rolls off Howard Dean's lips is worth hearing.

Still, Dean is not just any old loud-mouthed opportunist. He is the duly elected leader of the Democratic National Committee, and if he's asking America to believe that the party will support his proposal, then he needs to prove it.

He should insist on a vote on his plan.

Surely, congressional fellow travelers such as Rep. Jose Serrano of The Bronx, Georgia's Cynthia McKinney or Florida's Robert Wexler — the only three House members to vote in favor of last month's resolution demanding immediate withdrawal — would be more than willing to introduce a similar measure.

Especially if their party leader asks them to.

Well, Mr. Chairman, go ahead.

Let the votes fall where they may.
