Conference Call With Ken Mehlman on RNC Web Video

RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman will host a blogger conference call later today to discuss the newly released GOP web video "Democrats: Dishonest on Iraq" (aka Bush Fights Back - Round 3).

The video offers a high-production value, nicely-scored montage of notable Democrats (Madeleine Albright, Bill Clinton, Howard Dean, Sandy Berger, Nancy Pelosi, Jay Rockefeller, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, and Evan Bayh) in their erstwhile pre-war zeal for taking action against Saddam Hussein.  It ends with a clip from Bush's speech from Tobyhanna last Friday - that long-awaited day when the President finally called out his critics on their brazen hypocrisy,  fair-weather policymaking, and revisionist rhetoric.

Watch this space for a detailed account of the conference call.

Previously:  Round 1, Round 2

Update: D'oh!

Called in five minutes before the originally published start time (which was bumped up suddenly) and the call had already ended.

Patrick Hynes at Ankle Biting Pundits picks up my slack with a prompt recap.

Reid was, according to Chairman Mehlman, “sending the wrong message to the troops, the enemy, and the Iraqi people” by implying President Bush manipulated intelligence information in the build up to the Iraq war.
...

The Chairman also made an interesting point. George W. Bush is not up for re-election. There is little reason to pull political stunts like Reid’s, except to deliberately weaken the president’s position in the world.
