More responses:

Sen. John Kerry: "Unwise, unworthy of the office and his role as commander in chief, and unhelpful to American soldiers under fire. The deteriorating situation in Iraq requires less swagger and more thoughtfulness and statesmanship."

Gov. Howard Dean: "These men and women are risking their lives every day, and the president who sent them on this mission showed tremendous insensitivity to the dangers they face."
