Howard Dean: Osama bin Laden Had Nothing to do with 9/11
Meet the Press ^ | May 22, 2005 | Howard Dean

Posted on 05/22/2005 10:58:07 AM PDT by West Coast Conservative

DR. DEAN: I said I wasn't sure, but I said I thought there probably were. But the thing that really bothered me the most, which the 9-11 Commission said also wasn't true, is the insinuation that the president continues to make to this day that Osama bin Laden had something to do with supporting terrorists that attacked the United States. That is false. The 9-11 Commission, chaired by a Republican, said it was false.

Dean is the set-up to make Hillary look moderate, thereby making her "acceptable" and "electable" in 2006.

I think that Dean was once again confusing Hussein with Bin Laden. If memory serves correctly has done this before. A bit of a funny Freudian slip on his part.

he must have "misspoke himself" - he must have been referring to Saddam.

unless he REALLY IS an utter loon.

which is possible.

MR. RUSSERT: In your home state of Vermont, there's a vacancy for the United States Senate about to occur. Bernie Sanders, the congressman from Vermont, wants to run for that seat. He is a self- described avowed socialist.

DR. DEAN: Well, that's what he says. He's really a populist.

MR. RUSSERT: But is there room in the Democratic Party for a socialist?

DR. DEAN: Well, first of all, he's not a socialist, really.

MR. RUSSERT: He...

DR. DEAN: He hasn't said that for a while.

MR. RUSSERT: Oh, he has a--he wrote in his book: "Outside or in the House, I am a Democratic socialist."

DR. DEAN: Well, a Democratic socialist--all right, we're talking about words here.


Incredible. The more I see Demos like Gore and Dean and Reid trip all over themselves, the more I appreciate how brilliantly slick Clinton really was.

He really did say it, Dog, but I was listening and he meant to say Saddam.

Peach, the doc is a whack job. How can you be so sure?

Well, I just read the transcript and since they were talking about WMDs, I suppose one could give Howie the benefit of the doubt. But the dope never corrected himself (and I notice Timmy didn't either). Jeez, that guy has a permanent case of hoof in mouth.

He's a nutjob, that's for sure.

He was talking about Iraq and the war in Iraq and I'd bet almost anything he meant to say Saddam. I was quite surprised Tim didn't correct him.

You'll appreciate this exchange though.

Tim reminded Dean that he said that Osama bin Laden should be innocent until proven guilty. Then Tim asked how, given that sentiment, Dean could possibly say that Tom DeLay should be in jail!!

Dean wouldn't back away from the DeLay statement and mumbled some nonsense.

I hate giving Dean the benefit of any doubt, but in this case...

Well, he DID say once that once we get him, OBL has the "presumption of innocence" and should be given a "fair trial".

Dean as DNC chair is the best thing ever to happen to the GOP, lol!

I could see Dean on TV ....denouncing the US for treating the captured Osama(don't that sound good?) badly.

I could see the moonbat leading the protesters.

If I may respectfully correct you, sir. That'd be RMS.

Royal Mail Ship, meaning a commercial vessel in British registry. HMS, or His/Her Majesty's Ship means a vessel of the Royal Navy.
