March 10, 2007 Reid: Democrats Redeploy from Fox News Debate by Scott Ott
(2007-03-10) Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, said today that the Nevada State Democrat Partys decision to pull out of a scheduled presidential debate co-hosted by Fox News is actually a strategic redeployment, not a cut-and-run retreat. Theres no reason to put our brave Democrat presidential candidates in harms way, Sen. Reid said. We were lured into this debate due to faulty intelligence, and the prudent thing to do is redeploy. The majority leader who initially backed the Fox News debate, said he began to question the intelligence that drew him to support the contest when he read the following joke made by Fox News Channel Chairman Roger Ailes at an industry awards ceremony: And it is true that Barack Obama is on the move. I dont know if its true that President Bush called Musharraf and said, Why cant we catch this guy? Sen. Reid said, I cannot condone mocking the intelligence of a sitting president in time of war. The Democrat presidential hopefuls will redeploy to a casino on the Las Vegas strip for a non-partisan debate co-hosted by MoveOn.org and The New York Times.
