``This is the same critic who earlier in the year told Americans that we should prepare for the day when the United States 'won't always have the strongest military' -- former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean,'' Gillespie said in a speech at St. Anselm College in Manchester.

``He is wrong about our military and his charge that the president was going to cut the combat pay for soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan is completely at odds with all facts,'' Gillespie said.

The attack on Dean suggested a sharpening Republican focus on the former Vermont governor, who is leading in the polls over eight rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination. In New Hampshire, Dean has a double-digit poll lead over Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry in the run-up to the state's first-in-the-nation primary on Jan. 27.

The Dean For America campaign did not immediately respond to telephone messages seeking reaction to the Republican's remarks. The candidate has said that his comment, made in April, was that the United States will not have the strongest military if it does not ``begin to use diplomacy as part of our foreign policy.''
