Dean wigs out again.

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Thursday’s bombings in Madrid proved that the overthrow one year ago of the regime in Iraq has not made the world safer, former presidential candidate Howard Dean said, assailing President George W. Bush’s foreign policy.
tap, tap, nope.
"For the president of the United States to assert that we were safer because (former Iraqi tyrant President) Saddam Hussein is in jail is ludicrous, given what happened three days ago in Spain," Dean, a Democrat and former Vermont governor, told NBC’s "Meet the Press." Dean, whose candidacy was fueled largely by outrage by his supporters over the US-led war in Iraq nearly one year ago, led most opinion polls prior to the start of the January’s Democratic caucus and primary elections. He dropped out of the race, however, after Massachusetts Senator John Kerry dominated those nominating contests to choose the candidate to face Republican incumbent George W. Bush in the November 2 presidential election.
Still a snowball’s chance where Uday and Qusay are.
Dean, who is now backing Kerry, said Bush misled the country when he argued that Saddam was an imminent threat, and Kerry would have a more effective policy in Iraq and other foreign hotspots.
More effective for AQ.
"John Kerry is an internationalist," Dean said.
Read: He will subject us to the UNelected bureaucrats.
"We forfeited the moral leadership of this world, a position that we had been in since the end of World War I, when George Bush went into Iraq unilaterally," said Dean.
Then his lips fell off.
"We deserve that moral leadership title back again. I think Kerry will bring it to us."

#10  The election's November second. We need to schedule Howard and a few of his friends for their competency hearings on the 5th, and schedule their hospitalization at Bellevue beginning the sixth...

#7  No Mojo. We need these guys to rant loud and often. No one outside the Kool Aid drinkers believes this and just marginalizes them more with every angry outburst. I hope Kusinich and Dean stump early and often for Senator Kerry (D-Pyongyang). This will push the center further to the right and make the next four years that much safer. Maybe the Hollywood crowd will help out too? Remember how effective they were in Iowa for Dean? The Hollywood left was out IN FORCE and Dean lost big time.

#5  actually Frank G's got it right - statements by Dean on foreign policy are an embarassment for Kerry - though he cant say that.

#2  After Spain's results, I don't think we should underestimate the threat of Kerry's chances.
