DEAN TALKS MORE NONSENSE.

Call success failure; call failure success; and forget anything that contradicts your nonsensical statements: that’s what Dean is doing here as usual:

In Midwest campaign stops and an interview, the former Vermont governor said developments both abroad and at home give credence to his assertion two weeks ago that the United States is “no safer” with the capture of former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

“If we are safer, how come we lost 10 more troops and raised the safety alert” to the orange level, Dean said Sunday night in Ankeny, Iowa.

There it is—antilogic from the mind of a goofball. Evidently Dean believes that “making us safer” means “peace immediately takes over the world and evil disappears.”

“All the other Democrats pounced on me and beat me up and said how ignorant I was about foreign affairs,” he said. “I think most people in America agree with me today and it’s only two weeks later.”

That’s the problem with believing false statements—you start acting on them and get yourself into big trouble. In fact, few people buy into this silly nonsense, and Dean is looking more and more like a nut.

“We’ve made progress” on strengthening defenses at home, he said. “The problem is, on the things that are enormously important to us we have apparently made no progress. That is the ultimate nightmare of the so-called dirty bomb or a terrorist nuclear attack on the United States.”

Interesting. Taking the power of a nation-state (Afghanistan) away from Al Qaeda is “no progress.” A fascinating analysis by Dr. Dean. Taking the power of another nation-state (Iraq) away from Hussein, a homicidal dictator who financed terrorists via “Martyrdom Bonuses” for years is “no progress.” What a unique point of view.

So how would Dr. Dean deal with these things?

As president, Dean said he would initiate bilateral negotiations with North Korea, purchase the entire uranium stockpile held by the former Soviet Union and shift more money into security programs such as cargo ship inspections. “Why aren’t these things being done now?” he said. “Why have we dillydallied for 15 months?”

He’d buy the “entire uranium stockpile held by the former Soviet Union!” Sure he would! That’s sitcom logic. What makes him think the Soviet Union would sell it? He’s saying the Soviet Union would unilaterally disarm itself of all its nukes! What silly, goofball nonsense. He’s lost in dreamland. He’s got his head so far up his own butt he ought to open his own fantasyland theme park.

And he’d “shift more money into security programs.” That’s right, because he opposes the use of force to deal with people who are trying to kill us. More fantasyland.
