Howard Dean is an idiot

I make this claim for several reasons:

1. He now wants the US to "redeploy," sending 20,000 troops to Afghanistan 80,000 others to a friendly country in the middle east. He wants to fight Zarqawi with these moved troops...hmmm. Let me make sure I have this straight, he wants us to leave iraq in order to fight Zarqawi, who is in iraq, well that just plain makes no sense...In addition to the fact that there is no damn country in there right mind that can/would host 80,000 troops, simply because of the fact that they would be a huge target for terrorist attack.
2. He claims that Zarqawi entered Iraq only after the US forces invaded. This is in fact not true, he entered Iraq a year before the invasion after being hurt in Afghanistan.
3. "...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." - Dean No, this is NOT the same situation we had in Vietnam.
4. Please get your numbers correct. Dean said 25,000 people died in Vietnam. Please, sir, get your numbers correct. The actual number is well over 50,000. Seems to me to be a blatant attempt at comparing iraq to vietnam (which are very very different wars).
I'm sure there's more but I think I'll stop for now...oh I know, perhaps its the use of the word "idear." And people make fun of how the President talks? Haha.

Howard Dean was my Christmas gift in '04. Check the RightFromLeft archives from 12/04. He's KILLING the Democrats with his stupid comments, just like he killed his own campaign.

It's beautiful, Man.

I actually heard Marty Meehan (D-MA) last night on O'Reilly say that Dean was doing 'a good job' as DNC Chairman.

Now there's a first, Dave. Me AGREEING with a Democrat.

Here's exactly what Dean said:

"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."

Please notice the word "additional"; he in no way said that was the total US Military death toll.
