Howard Dean Statement on the Saddam Verdict
National Review ^ | November 05, 2006 | Byron York

Posted on 11/05/2006 6:37:46 AM PST by Dog

The DNC chairman praises the result that would not have come without the actions he oppposed:

Justice for the Iraqi people was finally served today with the conviction of Saddam Hussein. This dictator ruled by fear, torturing and murdering his own people to satisfy his malicious interests. It’s commendable and important that he was brought to justice in the country where he committed these atrocities against humanity.

Iraq is in the middle of a civil war and growing sectarian violence will be an even greater concern following this verdict. Our troops should be commended for providing the security needed to conduct this trial in Iraq and for their ongoing efforts to put an end to the violence and protect the Iraqi people.

Hmmm... and just how do you suppose this was acheived Howard? Your statement is actually a ringing an endorsement of Bush's policies, whether you have eyes to see it or not.

What a pusillanimous bastard. He hasn't the character to offer his real sentiments, like John Kerry did the other day.

The GOP should jump on this and publish it as a Bush endorsement by the leader of the DNC...because he just really stepped in his own stool.

They will do and say anything to get maximum advantage out of anything, even if it means lying about what they believe.

"Iraq is in the middle of a civil war "

Funny, the pictures I saw this morning showed Iraq in the middle of a celebration.

He was against it before he was for it. The end justifies the means.

I think part of the quote was omitted. Should read:

Our troops - while they may be mouthbreathing dolts who rape and murder innocent Iraqis - should be commended for providing the security needed to conduct this trial in Iraq and for their ongoing efforts to put an end to the violence and protect the Iraqi people.

"...and for their ongoing efforts to put an end to the violence and protect the Iraqi people."

Hey Howard I thought you wanted them to stop doing just that?

...yah, and Dean seems to have left out a couple more points from the DUmocrat mantra:

"We don't belong over there,"

and

"Iraqis aren't interested in freedom" (regardless of the 70% voter turn out nation-wide).

What a putz.

Howard Dean, from this link, May 22, 2005. From that link:

We have an obligation as the last superpower to fix this. Instead the president said, "Saddam Hussein is a threat to the United States," and that was just flat-out false. And I don't think that's the way you run a government.

And if the Democrats had been running things the last few years, Howie, Saddamn would still be there.

This is probably the smartest thing he could've done. He seems to be learning. He may be dangerous after all.

Well which is it?

Here's a video of bill clinton (campaigning for one of the Arizona liberals) claiming that we attacked a moderate muslim "democracy". Then he goes on to laugh at conservative's concerns about terrorism.

Dean is emblematic of the democrat habit of being FOR something and AGAINST something, both at the same time.
