I wonder how many American and allied lives this comment will cost.

[goldstategop]

I thought Al Qaeda had nothing to do with Iraq. Now we hear from Howie its Bush's making Iraq a safe haven for Al Qaeda that screwed things up in Spain. No, its Bush's fault! Man, the Democrats really are a piece of work!!!

[Just mythoughts]

These lying crooked liberals are beginning to sound one and the same as the killers we are fighting.

This bunch has walked up to the line and they are ready to fall into the pit they have dug themselves.

[faithincowboys]

If I were Kerry, dean wouldn't be at the convention. he is a nutjob. so Is Kerry, but Kerry hides it better.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Karl Rove and President Bush better be following some brilliant plan to beat these numbskulls in November, cause I just don't see it yet.

[I still care]

You know, I burned a pot on the stove last night, and I am sure it is Bush's fault.

I don't know how he did it, but after he caused all that flooding in Europe last year, and killed all those Spaniards on all those trains, I am sure a small thing like a pot is nothing for his evil karma.

[MEG33]

I cannot believe they lack recognition that these comments make our soldiers more vulnerable.Giving aid and comfort to the enemy became acceptable in the 60s,and 70s.

Kerry certainly has practice at it and Dean has no shame,either.

Their political agenda is more important than our soldiers lives or preventing terror.Communists think like this,too.

[RichInOC]

Rich: Howard Dean is a piece of crap.

[Knuckle Sandwich Combo]

[walford]

Some considerations [the 800lb gorillas that the Leftist press and pundits ignore] that this Dean outburst drives home:

1. Do the Demos REALLY think that the world [leaving aside the Iraqi people] would be better off with Saddam still in power?

One I still come back to again and again--
2. If George Bush is such a terrible president according to the Left at home and abroad, what kind of shape would America and the rest of the world be in right now if Forrest Gore were in the White House on 9/11? Do the Lefties really think Gore would have done a better job? DO THEY???

3. At first I thought that W was being melodramatic when he said, "you're either with us or agin' us." As time goes by, I'm seeing what he meant. The only ones who have truly suffered from W's foreign policy is Saddam and Osama.

4. Deep down in their heart of hearts, I think even Gore is relieved that he was not in office. The Left would rather we and the rest of the world drown in blood because of their appeasement, just so they can claim political advantage. They are truly evil.

If not for GW Bush... this world... Almighty, please bless him...

[DeuceTraveler]

I knew someone would start accusing Bush of those 200+ deaths. Wait for the protestors to start carrying signs with pictures of dead Spaniards and yelling "Hey Bush, how many Europeans you want dead today."

[rogueleader]

Someone needs to lock the devil doctor from Vermont back in his cage.

The stupid partisan mudfight continues.

[Serb5150]

"That was what they said in the tape," Dean said. "They made that connection, I'm simply repeating it."

Way to parrot, Dean. It's nice to see you finally thinking for yourself. Good job.

[pau1f0rd]

what did the world blame its problems on before Bush came along?

[CyberAnt]

Rush was commenting on this today - the left has been saying all along THERE IS NO LINK BETWEEN SADDAM AND AL QUEDA - right!

Then how can going into Iraq have anything to do with the deaths in Spain ..??

Rudy Giuliani dismissed similar comments made by a Saudi prince after 9/11

http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/10/11/rec.giuliani.prince/
Giuliani rejects $10 million from Saudi prince

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday the city would not accept a $10 million donation for disaster relief from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks.

"I entirely reject that statement," Giuliani said. "There is no moral equivalent for this [terrorist] act. There is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered 4,000 or 5,000 innocent people."

Prince Alwaleed gave the mayor a check after a Thursday morning memorial service at Ground Zero, the site of the World Trade Center towers destroyed in the attacks.

The prince offered his condolences to the people of New York, but after the ceremony he released a statement suggesting the United States "must address some of the issues that led to such a criminal attack."

"The check has not been deposited. The Twin Towers Fund has not accepted it," Giuliani said in a statement late Thursday.

The prince's statement said the United States "should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stand toward the Palestinian cause.

"While the U.N. passed clear resolutions numbered 242 and 338 calling for the Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza Strip decades ago, our Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered at the hands of Israelis while the world turns the other cheek," the statement said.

Giuliani flatly rejected the prince's position. "To suggest that there's a justification for [the terrorist attacks] only invites this happening in the future," he said. "It is highly irresponsible and very, very dangerous.

"And one of the reasons I think this happened is because people were engaged in moral equivalency in not understanding the difference between liberal democracies like the United States, like Israel, and terrorist states and those who condone terrorism.

"So I think not only are those statements wrong, they're part of the problem," Giuliani said.

[atomic conspiracy]

Once a scapegoat has been nominated, no real effort is required to blame him for literally anything. A few weeks ago, an Al Guardian columnist stupidly lost some money in a Nigerian e-mail scam and seriously blamed Bush for it.

It's ridiculously easy to blame Bush for nearly anything. I'll demonstrate:

A couple of weeks ago, there was a bizarre accident at my home. My overweight neighbor was trimming a tree in his backyard. The ladder fell, depositing the neighbor against the fence, which collapsed. The ladder itself continued onto my side, and knocked down my electric powerline, leaving me in the dark for 3 hours. Remarkably enough, the neighbor was not seriously injured.

This was obviously Bush's fault. How, skeptical freepers might ask? Simple, my neighbor is a car dealer, he makes a killing from SUVs (when these aren't roaming about killing and plundering on their own). If it weren't for Bush limiting our freedom by failing to ban these diabolical machines, this guy wouldn't be rich enough to live in my neighborhood. I would have a fit, athletic vegan commissar or such for a neighbor, and the accident would not have happened.

Last year, I was returning to my car from a night class. I slipped in the darkness, hit my noggin on the curb and required several stitches to fix it. Again, Bush's fault; no doubt about it. You see, if Bush allowed the government to provide a guaranteed minimum income of $26,500 a year(as the Green Party advocates) nobody would have to work, there would be no night classes and clumsy middle-aged professors like myself would not be wandering around in dark parking lots.

[A CA Guy]

There are no words of contempt powerful enough to express my resentment of Dean and this comment in these times.

[hershey]

Kerry's pitbull....Dean...can be counted to to lash out and make outrageous attacks on Bush, while Kerry doesn't have to say a word. I hope the voters see who's holding the leash here.

[The G Man]

Neville Chamberlain couldn't have said it better, Governor.

[SevenDaysInMay]

What person would see this doctor who is such a fool?

America is in open war and NATO is cowardly.

These socialist utopians cannot or will not see that islam has declared open war on The West using war crimes because The West has refused to fight a war. Bush's America is unpopular because we fight when NATO is passive and EU leaders are rich from taking oily arab bahksheesh (Arabic for money under the table.).

Madrid may be the cheapest Blitzkrieg in history. Vichy Spain. Pitiful Portugual. No wonder Franco ruled those people so easily. Spaniards roll over.

What will the Frenchy French do?
