The 4th Infantry division ..Good stuff. Yes, it is. Why don't the Major media reporters get this? Because they don't understand or spend time with the Military, scoff at the handouts, and spend their time having their Baathist interpreters ask questions of the Sunnis.

This is known as "rallying the troops!" Dean has plans to bring House under Democrats By STEPHEN SEITZ Union Leader Correspondent PETERBOROUGH — Although Presidential candidate Howard Dean had just rallied a crowd of about 800 at the town hall, it was during a stop at the Peterborough Diner that the Democrat let slip he has larger plans than just his candidacy. In response to a question by the Union Leader, Dean said a plan was in the works to bring the House of Representatives into Democratic control next November. Republicans currently control both houses of Congress. “There is a plan to change 20 to 25 seats,” the candidate said. “The House leadership will help select a number of swing seats. We plan to target those and help fund those races.” At his earlier campaign stop at town hall, Dean wasted no time lambasting President Bush, starting with recent scandals in the mutual fund industry. “I have said that capitalism without rules is like hockey without a referee,” Dean said. “Unfortunately, as we have been learning in almost daily revelations, some of the people who were entrusted with protecting the security of Americans’ savings were exploiting their power for personal gain while the authorities were asleep at the wheel. We need to restore balance to our system so that unchecked corporate power is not allowed to run roughshod over ordinary people. This President routinely appoints people from industry after industry to oversee their industry.” Dean said he would update current laws so that the majority of members on a mutual fund board, including the chairman, would be made up of independent investors and disclose the compensation board members get.
