[Doug Henwood]

[from The Note]

Hastert spokesguy Ron Bonjean reacted to the Democratic missive  
thusly: "The Democratic leadership continues to demand that American  
soldiers end their mission and wave the white flag of surrender to  
the terrorists that we are. fighting in Iraq. In fact, 42 Democrats  
defied their leadership and stood with House Republicans last month  
to support both our troops and their mission in Iraq as part of  
winning the Global War on Terror. The Democratic leadership has  
failed to understand the sacrifices made by our troops on foreign  
shores are keeping the battle against the terrorists out of our  
cities and neighborhoods. Our soldiers know that by going into harms  
way, they are keeping American freedoms safe."
