In his first interview as the chairman of the Arkansas Republican
Party, Dennis Milligan told a reporter that America needs to
be attacked by terrorists so that people will appreciate the
work that President Bush has done to protect the country.
"At the end of the day, I believe fully the president
is doing the right thing, and I think all we need is some attacks
on American soil like we had on [Sept. 11, 2001]," Milligan
said to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, "and the naysayers
will come around very quickly to appreciate not only the commitment
for President Bush, but the sacrifice that has been made by
men and women to protect this country."
Milligan, who was elected as the new chair of the Arkansas
Republican Party just two weeks ago, also told the newspaper
that he is "150 percent" behind Bush in the war in
Iraq.
In his acceptance speech on May 19th, Milligan told his fellow
Republicans that it was "time for a rediscovery of our
values and our common sense."
The owner of a water treatment company, Milligan was a relative
unknown in Arkansas politics until being elected the party
chairman. He had previously served as the party's treasurer
and the Saline County Republican chair.
