SAY WHAT? NOT A HUGE TERRORIST PRESENCE IN IRAQ?

PHOENIX, AZ – Randy Pullen, chairman of Arizona Republican Party blasted Gabrielle Giffords for her comments in the Douglas Daily Dispatch. Giffords is quoted as saying, "There is not a huge terrorist presence in Iraq." See: link

“On one hand we have Harry Reid saying the war is lost, on the other hand we have Gabrielle Giffords saying that there isn’t much of a terrorism problem in Iraq and therefore, mission accomplished,” said Pullen. “The Democrats can’t even agree on Iraq, yet they are trying to dictate strategy from Washington to the generals in the field. It makes you wonder who exactly Harry Reid surrendered to.” Pullen continued, “Gabrielle Giffords campaigned as a moderate Democrat but her voting record doesn’t match her campaign rhetoric and her actions are contrary to her campaign promises.”

“I’ll be happy in January of 2009 when I can safely say that there is not a huge Giffords presence in Arizona,” quipped Pullen.
