Followup to myself:
I do not understand his thinking process.
He "doesn't suffer fools" (according to his flaks), and he has an unenviable hot temper.
But on the topic of a terrorist mass murderer of 3,000+ people, "it's not my call."!?!
Dean doesn't compute.
His "temper" is an act.
It is being used vis a vis Clinton to intimidate others. Remember how Georgie used to say how angry Clinton would get so people wouldn't question him (think back to "I did not have sex with that woman"). Presstitutes fell in lockstep because they were scared at daddy yelling at him.
Dean's temper has never been displayed at say a cafe when the coffee was cold, etc.
It's a farce - my opinion is that he is on prescription drugs. His mind confusion, his glassy eyes, the mood swings (not temper).
