Dean is a POS who should be called Doctor Crock.

[Viking2002]

Dean is an arrogant chickensh!t. Bush and Rove must be salivating at the prospect of him winning the nomination.

PYORRHEA DEAN is such a LOSER!!

[solo gringo]

Howard Dean is one sick IDIOT that need a padded cell.Didn't they make a movie about him years ago howard the duck.

[dts32041]

I ask this in all seriousness, what kind of doctor was this guy, witch?

...and wounded and permanently maimed over 2,000 people because we picked the wrong target."

This illustrates just who dangerous he is.
In western culture, avoiding collateral damage is admirable goal, perhaps emphisized too much though battalion JAGs.

In middle-eastern culture, it is a perceived as a sign of weakness.

Hot & cold running squirrel vomit for brains...and he wants to be president.

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[The PeteMan]

Dean is an idiot and strives to prove it daily.

[A CA Guy]

Dean is insulting to all that is American.

The percentage of those who will vote for him will be the measure of betrayal from within our lands.

[jagrmeister]

Dean fails Logic 101. Imagine for a moment that we eliminated all drunk driving deaths. Then, Dean claims: "We are not any safer. People are still dying from cancer and homicide!". While removing one threat does not eradicate each and every threat facing the American people, we are still better off for removing one of these threats. Saddam and his Ba'athist party will never return to power and threaten the American or Iraqi people. Toppling Saddam made the American people safe from a rogue nation that has collaborated with terrorists such as Al Queda and KADEK. Capturing Saddam was a victory for the Iraqi people who will see the man who tortured and terrorized them finally see justice.

Dean, in 1942, would have said we were losing and not safer.

Democrats are worse than broken records.

Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean on Friday cited the higher terror alert and the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq in arguing that he was right to say Saddam Hussein's capture didn't make America safer.

Candidate Simpleton doesn't realize (or at least is shamming the public in saying this) that Saddam Hussein is one evil man but not the only evil man in the world. Qadaffi has seen the writing on the wall and is ending his own WMD program. That alone makes the world a safer place. Not an "airtight safe place" but safer.

There were those in Iraq who sought to bring Saddam back to power, that day will never come now. There were also those in Iraq who were afraid to come forward or show support for the US because of fear that Saddam's regime would torture or kill them. America and Iraq are both safer places today because of Saddam's capture.

[IrishRainy]

So, Howie, what's the freaking alternative? Bend over and take it with a smile?

Good grief, not only is this guy arrogant and condescending, he's also not fit to be in government. It's all about him, NOT the people he's supposed to serve.

Dean Cites Terror Alert As Vindication

Associated Press Writer

NASHUA, N.H. (AP) - Democratic presidential hopeful Howard Dean on Friday cited the higher terror alert and the number of U.S. troops killed in Iraq in arguing that he was right to say Saddam Hussein's capture didn't make America safer.

``They got all excited, but here we are,'' Dean told a town-hall meeting. ``We've lost 10 more troops and F-16s are escorting foreign passenger jets into our air space because we're now more worried than we were before.''

Last month, Dean's rivals assailed the front-runner when he said within a day of the Iraqi leader's capture that his apprehension had not made the United States safer, a direct contradiction of President Bush.

Since then, the national terrorism alert has been raised to orange and U.S. troops have been killed in Iraq.

``I can assure you it's not Saddam who's threatening to bomb airplanes,'' Dean said. ``It's al-Qaida. We've not paid attention to al-Qaida. We've spent $160 billion, lost over 400 servicemen, and wounded and permanently maimed over 2,000 people because we picked the wrong target.''

Dean said even though he opposed the Iraq war, his greatest fear now is that ``this administration will pull out of Iraq too early for political reasons,'' Dean said.

If that happens, al-Qaida will move into Iraq and become more powerful than ever.

``My fear is that the (Karl) Rove polls will tell him (Bush), 'You've gotta get out, you've gotta get out,' and he'll start doing that,'' Dean said, referring to Bush's chief political adviser.
