Howard was on CNN's "American Morning" today and Soledad O'Brien kept trying to push on him that 78% of Americans don't think the Democrats have a plan to get out of Iraq.  

From the DNC Blog:

On President Bush's Failed Iraq Policies:
"We don't believe as the President said that we ought to leave this to the next president. The President got us into this. He needs to plan to get us out of it. We do believe that we can't withdraw immediately. That's not going to stabilize this dreadful situation, which the President has caused by his brash actions and because he did not listen to the military when we went in.

"Our plan is clear. The United States Senate has adopted our plan, which is: 2006 has to be a transition year. That the Iraqis have to take responsibility now for what's going on. We were the ones that suggested, which is now being adopted by Republicans, that the Iraqis be required to have unity government based on this election. They need to take responsibility for this. We need over the next couple of years to bring our folks home. ...

"We need to deal with Iraq right now, in a thoughtful and sensible way. and we need to listen to the military, not just talk about listening to the military, which is what the President's doing."

On The 2006 Midterm Elections:
"Do you want more of the same or a real change? We're going to give you a real change. We'll bring honesty and openness back to our government again, and create American jobs that will stay in America. We want a health care system that works for everybody. Look what the President did. The President didn't tell us the truth about Medicare Part D, this ridiculous drug program he has for Medicare, which is driving seniors crazy. We need a President who just tells us the truth."

BradBlog has the video.  It was a brilliant interview.  O'Brien kept trying to cut him off but Howard would not yield an inch.

The Democrats need to get their plan into the hands of as many voters as possible.
