Dean's latest Howard Dean, the Democratic National Committee chairman who was the hero of his party's anti-war wing before his gaffe-prone 2004 presidential candidacy crashed and burned in Iowa, still doesn't think the Iraqis are better off with dictator Saddam Hussein out of power and in prison. Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation" yesterday, the fiery former Vermont governor said, "It looks like today, and this could change, as of today it looks like women will be worse off in Iraq than they were when Saddam Hussein was president of Iraq." Mr. Dean was the guy who said right after Saddam was found hiding in a "spider hole" that his capture by U.S. troops "has not made America safer," a statement ridiculed and condemned by most of his Democratic rivals at the time. In a brief statement yesterday, the Republican National Committee said, "Dean's wild assertion that Iraqi women would be better off living under Saddam Hussein than democracy is not only counterproductive to meaningful debate, it demeans the hard work of American servicemen and women serving in Iraq."

...biggest wish: That this SOB POS would go to Iraq and seek "understanding," Afghanistan just as his dead brother went to Southeast Asia during the "Peace and Love" era; on second thought, check that, may the Dems be forever hung with this albatross around their RAT necks!
Well, how interesting that the DNC's official position is support of rape, murder, dismemberment, beheading of Iraqi women as opposed to relative freedom.
Yep, the Democrats prove once again that they're for the "little guy." (/s)
And we dared to take that away from Iraqi women. The shame!
I wonder if the SeeBS showhost challenged him, agreed, or let it slide?
Nonetheless, Dr. Dizzy Dean is the best thing to happen to conservatives in decades, LOL!
Oh yeah, I am sure the women of Iraq loved those rape rooms.
The favored group and tribes did allow their women quite a lot during the Saddam reign of terror.
They were much freer than Muslim women in many other countries.
Dean is so stupid to suggest that all Iraqi women in general, including the Shia and the Kurds and any non-compliant Sunni as well, would have received similar treatment.
Exactly the opposite was true for the majority of women, because the favored Sunni were a minority and the favored tribes were a minority within that minority. They became the face of Iraqi women to the outside world, however stupid that was.
The rest of the women were subject to the torture chambers, the rape rooms and the mass graves. Not to mention Uday Hussein.
That's a rational point, but that is an argument for our further occupation, until we can ensure a secular government.
So either Dean wants us to stay and ensure that form of government, or he is a hypocrite.
Go Howard go. When buried in dirt, he just keeps digging.
Either that or he may be off his meds.
No, but I have this: http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6570.htm
Still looking...
Ecially those found in mass graves shot point blank in the head alonh with their children. This man is ultimate scum.
Sorry all, should've posted it for everyone...a lovely metamorphosis...I will send it to DU to remind them.

Yawn....zzzzzz......
The RNC will never get any awards for snappy answers to wild assertions and lies by leading Dems. I make it a point to study RNC rebuttals. Seems they are written by a guy named William Jennings Bryan perched on a stool in the nether recesses of the building, scratching away with feather pen and foolscap.
As evinced by this thread, freepers should be hired to compose answers to crazies like Dean because freeper wit and stilletos would actually create some attention from the public and in the media.

The only way we will know for sure is to ask the women who were under Saddam while they were being raped is if they thought they were better off. Most likely the answer would be, "No I wasn't better off under Saddam, amd if I had a choice I would have preferred Saddam better off."
My husband, during his first deployment to Iraq, got a private tour of one of Uday's former palaces that had been converted into a Army base of operations. The palace had been occupied very early by the Army (the higher-ups), and so had never been looted...meaning that this palace was complete with gilded doors and crystal chandeliers, and hundreds of $3,000 bottles of chardonnay. My hubby reports that walked into a room which contained boxes full of stereos, and asked the officer giving the tour what was their purpose. Apparently, the stereos were consolation prizes for the women that were forced to satisfy the lustful urges of Uday...and all of his friends.
I guess Dr. Dean things that a stereo is good payment for having been gang-raped.
"An argument for our further occupation, until we can ensure a secular government."
I think that what Arab countries need more than anything else is separation of church and state, but almost no Arabs are ready to accept that. If we stay until they are ready (and maybe we should) it will probably be a long time. That raises the question of whether we have the political will to do so. Sadly, we probably won't have that political will until we are struck again hard.
FReeper wit has been free for all to see for a few years now :)...all anyone has to do is actually use it! (don't ask me why they don't....more often, that is)
Dean is one of the best things that has ever happened to the GOP! Every time this idiot opens his mouth the 'Rats lose more votes.
