Refered to Saddam (or more specifically his capture) as a $500 ice cream cone.
Who doesn't like ice cream? Yummy. Wouldn't you like to have some? Sure! Everyone agrees ice cream cones are great.
What if i offered you one that cost $500?
That's Saddam.
On edit: This is a critical couter-meme. Yes Saddam was dangerous. A little (Bill Maher called him the "Mayor of Baghdad"). But did the minor threat he posed warrant $200 billion and the better part of the most powerful, technological army on earth bringing him down?
I want "$500 ice cream cone" to be on the lips of every media pundit and Dean supporter. Ice cream is good but not THAT good! It's just not worth it.
