"The Republicans are running wild with our tax dollars and it's been a mistake to let this administration continue a policy of incompetence when it comes to Iraq"

He is suggesting that the Republicans have actually been irresponsible with taxpayers' money which it was an error to enable the present administration to continue its policy of incompetence in Iraq. He believes that the current administration has not been able to effectively manage the war and has actually lost taxpayers' cash at the same time. He is also indicating that the Republican celebration is to blame for this circumstance, as they have been in control of the government for the past few years. Brown's criticism of the Republican party and the present administration's handling of the Iraq War is a reflection of the general public's dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs in Iraq.
