WASHINGTON (CNN) --Under fire for saying that the United States should be even-handed in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute, 2004 Democratic presidential front-runner Howard Dean Wednesday said he would not abandon the long-standing policy of strong U.S. support for Israel.

The former Vermont governor said criticism of his remarks by presidential rival Sen. Joseph Lieberman was a "despicable" attempt to divide the Democratic Party, which has long enjoyed the support of many Jewish voters.

Dean is a terrorist lover. He compares the intentional murder of bus passengers to casualties in a war. Dean is a moral defective. His moral compass is pointing far from true north.

Howard Dean has a little difficulty describing the differences between regular soldiers, and guerillas, terrorists and spies.

I love this because I really don't think that Dean's supporters can be dislodged, particularly over an issue like Israel on which they agree with an even-handed approach. The more they attack on issues like these, the more energized his base.

Is he committing political suicide because of genuine stupidity, or is he doing so on Hillary's orders?

Dean was a mad abortionist for Planned Parenthood. Of course he has no soul.

Dean said: "members of Hamas are soldiers in that war."

What kind of soldiers purposely target bombs against school children on the bus to school?

Should be members of Hamas are soldiers killers using mass murder of innocent civilians in that war

Dean is far less intelligent that he believes himself to be....

And, far more dangerous to America than most think he is..

Actually, I think Dean's doing this on Hillary's orders.

She sent him a postcard of Fort Marcy Park with the message, "Wish you were here!"

Dean also called on President Bush to "swallow his pride" and send former President Bill Clinton to the Middle East to salvage the peace process.

My vote for Bush would hinge on this. I have flamed others for threatening to sit out the vote, or vote third party. But this would be unacceptable. If W sends Clinton, Im gone.

If he considers them legitimate soldiers, then they are guilty of war crimes for deliberately targeting children, infants and civilians. Did the Palis sign onto the ICC?
