I just watched the debate between Howard Dean and Richard Perle and it reminded me of when the breckgirl John Edwards debated Dick Cheney. Howard dean talked in circles, had no clear solutions and clearly was outclassed by a man that is a master on defense issues. We heard the same thing from Howard Dean that we heard during the election....and that is "Bush is wrong", "Bush doesn't know what he is doing" and on and on and on. Howard Dean had no business even being on the same stage as Richard Perle. If you were to judge the debate by audience applause only, you would have thought that Dean won by landslide. But as we all know the panel was stacked with liberal professors, a liberal audience, at a liberal university in a liberal state. Richard Perle STILL handed Howard Dean his ass on a platter!
I"m watching an anti American round table on C-Span 2, and it's devolved into a FOXNews bash. It's all FOX's fault that Americans believes Bush's lies about Iraq.
Incredible....only too bad the RNC isn't up and running with talking points out in email, to expose these people, this organization, and Joseph Wilson!
Perle was superb.
But did you catch it when he said the mistake in Iraq was not in going in but in carrying out an "occupation"...being an "occupying power", in which case the populace was bound to become disgruntled. I don't understand what Perle would have had us do. Have you heard anyone give a good alternative to our stay in Iraq, after we got there? I have not.
Note he didn't complain that we dismantled the Army or failed in reconstruction or keeping law and order, etc. He said we made a mistake by occupying Iraq, not by going in. Duh? What should we have done?
