Howard Dean's feverish tirades against Bush and Co. have made him a sort of choirmaster for the "we-were-misled-to-war" set. So it's a source of great pleasure to learn that one of Dean's lies has been exposed. And (drum roll, please) in the New York Times, no less.
Today's op-ed by William Safire, "Dean's 'Urban Legend,'" reveals that Dean has for some time been lying to the press and public about a remark he made following the deaths of Uday and Qusay Hussein.
"Questioned about the deaths of Saddam's sons, Odai and Qusai, in Iraq, Dean dismissed suggestions that it was a victory for the Bush administration.
`It's a victory for the Iraqi people . . . but it doesn't have any effect on whether we should or shouldn't have had a war,' Dean said. `I think in general the ends do not justify the means.' "
That's what he says he didn't say. Dean has lashed out at everybody from reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg to John McCain for "claiming" that he made this statement. (McCain had remarked, "The ends were to get rid of two murdering rapist thugs and the means was the use of American military intelligence.") But the quote you've just read came from an AP dispatch by Holly Ramer (Manchester, NH, July 22, 2003), and it's legit.
Too bad he's Johnny One-Note.
