Time for a change

I can't believe Vice President Dick Cheney insinuated that Democratic primary voters in Connecticut helped "al-Qaida types" by selecting a Senate candidate who opposes the Republican war in Iraq. A majority of Americans want to be out of Iraq. It is Cheney who is in the minority. I wish the press would start reflecting that reality when reporting his extreme, irresponsible comments. It's ironic that Cheney should bring up al-Qaida. Instead of catching Osama bin Laden, he and the Bush administration have given the terrorists room to breathe in Afghanistan and a new training ground in Iraq. The truth is that Democrats will give us a new direction in Iraq and a more competent prosecution of the war against al-Qaida. Enough is enough. We need new leadership in this country.
