Senator Charles Grassley says perception is becoming reality when it comes to the nation’s economy, and Grassley is advising President Bush to counter democrat attacks that blame Bush for job losses. Grassley says the terrorists are to blame for the one million jobs that were lost after September 11th. Grassley says Bush should clearly outline a withdrawal strategy from Iraq, but Grassley says Bush shouldn’t divert from the new foreign policy objective called “pre-emption.” Grassley says “a President of the United States can’t let Americans be sitting ducks for anybody that wants to attack us.” Grassley says it’s a “no-brainer” to say, as John Kerry has said, that if America’s attacked, we’re going to defend ourselves. “You know, that doesn’t take any brains at all,” Grassley says. “What takes brains is what are you going to do to make sure Americans aren’t attacked?”
