Reid criticizes President Bush as 'dangerously incompetent'

I think it's time the Republicans resurrected that old tried and true label so deftly exploited by the left....."mean spirited". If ever there was a time it fit, now is it.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid called President Bush "dangerously incompetent" on Wednesday and said the administration ought to be doing more to prevent increasing sectarian violence in Iraq.

"Where is (Secretary of State) Condoleeza Rice? Why isn't she over in the Middle East, as the chief diplomat of this country should be, trying to get the political forces to form a government over there?" Reid told The Associated Press.

Reid said the U.S. was "failing three different ways in Iraq." Military efforts have lagged, the economy is crippled by decreased oil and electricity production, and attempts to form a representative government are behind schedule, he said.

Reid criticized Bush for a series of recent appearances in key political states in which the president defended his Iraq war policies.

"Why isn't he spending time with these leaders in the Middle East trying to get this government formed?" Reid said.

Well there you have it, the Democrats plan for America, degrade, demean and defile. Other than that they have nothing and they know it. If they believe these pathetic attempts at demonizing Bush will win them elections in 06, brother are they in for a shock. It serves to galvanize the Republican base and does nothing to energize their own. Wait and see, if they continue throw turds and offer nothing in the way of a viable alternative, they are in for a major thumping.
