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.
The good thing about Howard Dean's stint at the DNC is that the sick people of Vermont are being protected from medical malpractice at the hands of this incompetent.
What an idiot...nothing like giving China more incentive to shoot their mouths off and get them thinking seriously...Dean, you're an A number 1 as$hole.
Bingo
Oh yeah, brilliant move you idiot!
Tell our enemies we are weak so they can do whatever the hell they want.
Nice slam on our military!
Thank God Dean is dead wrong.
Half of the troubles in Iraq are being caused by Iran and Syria. Divert our people to Iran and they'll have to regroup for self defense.
Take the focus off Iraq and even the Sunni's will probably break in their little revolt, because they'll no longer be the center of headlines and Iran will become the new "Vietnam" to the Left.
"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."
Oh, really?
Funny, no one pre-Iraq liberation said that "Iraq wasn't a threat." The Left...and Howie...never said that "Iraq posed no threat" and "they aren't really pursuing WMDs." Oh, they said if AFTER the war...
But I digress. Many on the left claim that "North Korea and Iran are the REAL threats"...but would any of them have supported wars with those nations? Would they today, or at any time in the future? I think not. They also say it like we're not dealing with Iran or NK at all, which couldn't be further from the truth.
If we really wanted to get Iran to disarm, we could send Dean over there to scream at them. THe earsplitting noise would be such torture, they would eventually give and give into any demands. Same thing worked with Noriega, right?
Dean has no idea why anyone who is in favor of the United States and not just his or her political party would find this appalling. Briefly, it's this - this constitutes the leader of a major political party undercutting a principal option from his country no matter who sits in the Oval Office, Republican or Democrat. It emboldens the enemy and makes the threat less effective than the reality, and that is a very dangerous state of affairs brought about by irresponsible, adolescent posturing.
We know he's an idiot. The Iranians don't. They want to believe he's stating a fact and will act on what they want to believe rather than what they ought to believe.
Appalling.
Dean's view of US military capability, a matter of debate, can only embolden the Iranian enemy, thus making armed confict more likely. Is it possible he does not know this? Personally, I don't think this scatterbrain gives it a thought.
Does Dum-Dum not see that we now have Iran surrounded? Truth is that Howard just wants the upcoming conflict with Iran to wait until Hillary gets in office so that she can have the opportunity for greatness that Billy missed out on (Lord help us).
Funny, whackjob Deam never applies that criteria to the things he says.
Dean has bought the fiction that the US has been waging an all-out war in Iraq.
Who is this we you're talking about?
The only thing that the demorats can handle that is weak is those represented by AARP. (sarcasm)
And many dont want to realize that Saddam was our proxy and many nations proxy when he fought and killed millions of Iranians. Not pretty. But those are the facts. We have not been sitting back and watching Iran do what it wanted for years. We were doing the best we could logisitically until Saddam morphed into a nutty tyrant. His mental breakdown was probably based in part on his failure to beat Iran. Deans mental breakdown is also probably based in part on the dimwits failure to beat the republicans.
It is times like these that make me think that Howie is an RNC plant... :-)
And this fool was a media-designated contender for President at one time. Dean is too weak to hit Trinidad and Tobago even if they used their only airplane to knock down the White House.
