When the socialist thugs get their way here in the US, of course they wouldn't want their brutal rule to be challenged.

What exactly does Nikita Dean think was in those mass graves in Iraq?

The front-runner said he supported the war to oust the Taliban in Afghanistan, and backed President Clinton's decision to send troops to Bosnia and Kosovo during the 1990s because force is sometimes necessary to stop genocide.

Kosovo justified?? How did force there, and letting KLA terrorists run amok, stop genocide? Geegosh, it practically created a freedom trail for Muslim terrorists.

This guy is brain dead. Maybe someone should disconnect his feeding tubes.

OK, that does it. I was all for Sharpton, but now I'm now 100% behind Dean becoming the Demoncrat Party's nominee for President. Go Deany-Baby!

Dean would definitely make the ideal representative of the dimocrap party--incoherent, condescending, and devoid of smarts.

Well, Hitler posed no "imminent threat" to us - he had no way of attacking America. We should have tried quiet diplomacy through the League of Nations instead of declaring war ourselves. See, we should have stopped the "cycle of violence" by refusing to declare war in response to the German declaration. In Deanworld, "violence never solves anything." Besides, democracy could never be established in Germany. The only time Germany had a democratic government was the brief time after WWI until Hitler seized power, so in Deanworld the administration was crazy to try to establish democracy in Germany.

"I do not believe force is justified simply because we think someone is a brutal dictator," he told about 1,000 high school students, a reference to former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.

So if Dean becomes a brutal dictator himself someday these high school students may believe that Dean is OK and using force to remove Dean will be unjustifed.

"Sure, there's an on-going terrorist threat in Iraq and the main reason it exists is cause the Democrats can't be counted to defend our country's interests when they're under fire."

Isn't it wonderful to have enemies who are such ideologues?

Not only is it impossible for liberals to learn from their mistakes, it's likely that they'll keep making them.

Exactly! They naysayers were dead wrong then and they are dead wrong now. The leftists are always wedded to defeatism, which is one reason why more and more people are telling them to get lost.

No doubt he also backed Clinton's decision not to intervene in Rwanda where a true genocide was underway.

MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean said Friday that the use of U.S. military force is not warranted simply because a nation is ruled by a despot.

Well Dean, that is what they said about Hitler too. We see how wrong they were then, just as you are wrong now. God save us from these men who would be Tzar.

Why is it that the Dummies are against the war in Iraq because we didn't get all 15 security votes in the UN? The US would have still taken the military lead, the WMD's would not have been an issue because France and Russia gave their blessings afterall, Of course they would still be griping about the costs. I honestly hope we take on another country before the next election just for the hope that the Dems will spontaneously combust!

Actually, Roosevelt asked for and got a declaration from Congress. He didn't have to deal with the looney-tunes pacifist appeasers who now dominate the Dim party.

Mr. Dean knows full well that we did not invade Iraq merely because Saddam was a monster. This is entirely a straw man.

The libs have already disowned him for his statements based on common sense and facts. They can't have any of that near them, like a vampire avoids garlic and crosses.

Democratic party, "We're so thoroughly lacking in moral, ethical, and mental credibility that even our enemies are embarrassed of us!"
