Sunday, Aug. 14, 2005 11:13 p.m. EDT Dean: U.S. Too Weak to Hit Iran

Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean said Sunday that while Iran poses a genuine "danger" to the United States, the U.S. military is now too weak to respond.

Asked whether the U.S. might have to resort to military action against Iran, Dean told CBS's "Face the Nation" that President Bush had "squandered our resources in Iraq, which was not a danger to the United States."

"He doesn't have much left to fight a country [like Iran] that is a danger to the United States," the top Democrat insisted. While agreeing that "no option should be taken off the table," Dean said Bush "lacks the credibility both here and abroad to actually exercise [a military] option" against Iran.

"He shouldn't say it, because it can't be delivered upon," Dean declared.

You have to remember everyone, that Howard Dean thinks he's qualified to talk about foreign policy because he once ate at an International House of Pancakes in Montpelier.

Democrats: The USA is too weak and can't do anything right. So we might as well give up now.

I mentally urinate on their sentiments!

Dean is now a great military strategist along with being the court jester! I admire his versatility!

Dean favors military action against Iran?

So, he'll support Bush when Bush takes action and proves Dean's opinion about our military capabilities wrong. Or do I misunderstand the mad doctor from Vermont?

I would think that being in Iraq now would be the best place to be if we were needing to go to Iran next.
