More on Dean
The editheads at the NY Daily News point out that Dean's remarks about Iraq are, well, nuts:

Dean, the Democratic Party boss with the say-anything habit, has outdone himself with his newest foray into fantasy. As usual, his idea is wrapped in false packaging and sealed with slimy innuendo. Here are a few of the whoppers he recently let loose on San Antonio, Tex., radio station WOAI:

The "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong."

"This is the same situation we had in Vietnam. Everybody then kept saying, 'Just another year, just stay the course, we'll have a victory.' Well, we didn't have a victory, and this policy cost the lives of an additional 25,000 troops because we were too stubborn to recognize what was happening."

"What we see today is very much like what was going on in Watergate. It turns out there is a lot of good evidence that President Bush did not tell the truth when he was asking Congress for the power to go to war."

The editorial concludes:

Thank God Howard Dean is not President. Virtually every idea in that paragraph is either false or nuts. But this is the gist of the wackadoo wing's big lies - that terrorism is a direct outgrowth of the Iraq invasion and that Iraq was a workers' paradise before we showed up in our jackboots. Fact: Terrorists attacked Americans repeatedly before the war. As for the prewar conditions in Iraq, Dean & Co. should try their rosy vision on the survivors of Saddam Hussein's torture chambers risking their lives to testify against him.
