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.
