Howard Dean: the gift that keeps on giving

So, the chairman of the Democrat party has decided to put his foot in his mouth once again, telling a Texas radio station that "the idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong."

I've got to hand it to Dean, because the man knows where his organically-grown bread is smeared with an Earth-friendly vegan butter substitute. It's like the Dems aren't even trying to sound serious about military issues anymore, which at least strikes me as more honest than their previous strategy of talking tough while winking and nodding at the "objectively pro-fascist" crowds of moonbat protestors calling on our troops to frag their officers.

And Bush is doing a lot better at responding to this nonsense in real time these days, too. "I know we're going to win, and our troops need to hear not only that they are supported but that we have got a strategy that will win," Reuters quotes Bush as saying. Nice contrast there.

Meanwhile, Dean was burnishing his credentials for the "Most Obvious Statement by a Liberal Baby Boomer" award, saying that what's going on in Iraq is "the same situation we had in Vietnam."

Hmmmmm...does that mean Dean did the interview via phone from Colorado?

It's not just Dean. It's the whole left wing of the Demos. They're even attacking Hillary:

Here's my question: what next? Where do they go next week? Next month? 2006?

At some point, the people are going to get tired of the defeatist attitude. At least I hope so. Then they'll be in hot water.

I think it's unfair they voted for this war, knowing full well it would be difficult and take time, and now are harping that it's difficult and taking time. They helped put us in this situation, so they should stick it out with the rest. But who am I to advise the People's Democrat Party?
