Reply #24: Seems like Howard Dean supported Bush [View All]

[Skwmom]

when he thought it would benefit him politically,

From Feb 02:


He (Dean) gets a deluge of phone calls from reporters asking him to clarify his position. Which is -- "as I've said about eight times today," he says, annoyed -- that Saddam must be disarmed, but with a multilateral force under the auspices of the United Nations. If the U.N. in the end chooses not to enforce its own resolutions, then the U.S. should give Saddam 30 to 60 days to disarm, and if he doesn't, unilateral action is a regrettable, but unavoidable, choice.

Plus, his take on Bush. “He (Dean) does credit Bush for being "popular because he knows who he is, and he speaks unambiguously about his message." “ I think Bush's message is just about as clear as Howard Deans.
