You've got to love Dr. Dean. Just when his party (except Murtha) is trying to play "hawk", he throws out the Chicken.
Dean: US Won't Win in Iraq
(SAN ANTONIO) -- Saying the "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong," Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean predicted today that the Democratic Party will come together on a proposal to withdraw National Guard and Reserve troops immediately, and all US forces within two years. Dean made his comments in an interview on WOAI Radio in San Antonio. Click here to listen to the complete interview. "I've seen this before in my life. 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."
Yeah, yeah....Quagmire.....Vietnam....Jane Fonda.....yada, yada....
"Dean also compared the controversy over pre-war intelligence to the Watergate scandal which brought down Richard Nixon's presidency in 1974.
"What we see today is very much like what was going in Watergate," Dean said. "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 President said last week that Congress saw the same intelligence that he did in making the decision to go to war, and that is flat out wrong. The President withheld some intelligence from the Senate Intelligence Committee. He withheld the report from the CIA that in fact there was no evidence of weapons of mass destruction (in Iraq), that they did not have a nuclear program. They (the White House) selectively gave intelligence to the United States Senate and the United States Congress and got them to give the go ahead to attack these people."
"Withheld the report from the CIA?"......the "SLAM DUNK" Tenet CIA?
Dr. Dean, no more Thorazine for you! Well why are we suprised, Dean after all thinks 9/11 was a big "McBush-Hilter/Cheney/Haliburton conspiracy anyway....
"Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Dean"
