Reply #24: Yep, Iraq is the only military problem we've got

It's foolish to base future of this country on one vote, a vote that actually paved the way for Dean to be able to say:

"I would do exactly what we're doing with Saddam. I would leave it to the United Nations. Saddam has a long history of having his word be absolutely no good whatsoever. Now, the North Koreans have not exactly distinguished themselves in their level of honesty, either.

But for the United States to negotiate directly with Saddam Hussein, I suspect, is a waste of time. I'd leave that to the United Nations, leave it to the community of nations, not simply the United States, to police what's going on in Iraq."

He wouldn't have been able to say that without that war vote that got Bush to go the UN in the first place. So he was perfectly content with the results gained from the Democratic Party in January 2003. But when Bush went headlong into war, against the advice of many who voted for that authorization, including Kerry, he quickly blamed the Democratic Party instead of George Bush. Typical Howard Dean.
