The Most Important Part of Today's Howard & Judy Show
BLITZER: I also point out to you David Kay's acknowledgment right now. He went over there convinced there were weapons of mass destruction stockpiled. And he says openly right now he couldn't find any weapons (UNINTELLIGIBLE).

H. DEAN: I believed that there were, so I was surprised when they came home and said there weren't, as well. But, you know, the Bush administration said so many things that were false that I wasn't entirely shocked.

They clearly tried to gin up every piece of intelligence to try to get us to go into that war. And my question is: Why did all the senators who are running for president fall for it and I didn't?

(vote for me snip)

BLITZER: David Kay says that your question over the intelligence community, the CIA and also owe the president, the administration (UNINTELLIGIBLE).

H. DEAN: Well, I suspect there's more to it than that. I suspect -- I have talked to somebody from -- it was a former member of the CIA who said that the vice president came down and sat down with lower level members of the CIA and criticized them to their face, the vice president of the United States, for not writing intelligence reports the way he thought they ought to be written. So you have the spectacle of the vice president of the United States trying to intimidate intelligence reporters into giving the kind of information he wanted given to the president. I think there's a lot of explaining to be done, and I think the vice president and the president owes an explanation, not just the CIA.

2. Yep, And Dean Says It Plain And Right Out Loud, Thank God !!!
Everybody elses dances around with the issues and facts, so that you can't get a grip on whether they understand what really happened.

Dean seems to have done his homework, and is able to give the cogent and factual responses we've been DYING to hear from our other Dem 'leaders'.

You Go, Doctor!!!

:kick:

3. He was great
This is why he is my candidate. No one else would have the guts to say these things if Dean didn't say them first.

PS.... expect Kerry to do his Howard Dean impersonation and parrot the same information in the next few hours.
