Dean's an ass but he's right. Dude is an antisemite and Bush doesn't get it. The Democrats of course blow on National security but he's right here.
BTW I heard Michael Savage going on pathetically about what a mistake it was for Israel to mess up Lebanon like this (I don't agree with Savage on that). Any chance in hell that Michael Savage is an anti semite?
Dean's remarks were totally shameless.
No, he's not, actually.
Dean is advocating that we simply take over Iraq and dictate who can run the place--and of course if we did that he would call whoever that was a puppet.
He has been comspicuously low-key since the recent war in Israel/Lebanon began, and now he seizes the spotlight to call the Iraqi leader an anti-semite, but he doesn't give a goddamn whether he is or isn't--he is merely trying to discredit ALL of our Iraq policy. Please show me the Iraq leader who could support Israel without breaking his country into even worse chaos (outside of Baghdad) than it is already in.
No, Dean is not right. He MAY be "factually correct" about this guy's position, but he isn't right, and Bush DOES get it; he can't simply pick someone who could win an electoin in the US to run Iraq. It doesn't work that way. Many folks can be excused for not appreciating that, but Dean should know better. He DOES know better, but he doesn't care--he only wants to bloody Bush and discredit his efforts, and he doesn't give a hoot in hell who gets killed or how the US is discredited by his inflammatory words.
