WashPost editorial busting on Howard Dean big time!

It is Mr. Dean's position on Iraq, however, that would be hardest to defend in a general election campaign. Many will agree with the candidate that "the administration launched the war in the wrong way, at the wrong time, with inadequate planning, insufficient help and at unbelievable cost." But most Americans understand Saddam Hussein for what he was: a brutal dictator who stockpiled and used weapons of mass destruction, who plotted to seize oil supplies on which the United States depends, who hated the United States and once sought to assassinate a former president; whose continuing hold on power forced thousands of American troops to remain in the Persian Gulf region for a decade; who even in the months before his overthrow signed a deal to buy North Korean missiles he could have aimed at U.S. bases. The argument that this tyrant was not a danger to the United States is not just unfounded but ludicrous.

My prediction...

...is that Dean will come out of this just fine. Right now he's just trying to avoid what McCain did four years ago by going centrist too early. He'll continue drumming up the far left, win the primary and then, relying on American's twenty-eight minute attention span, his rhetoric will swerve to the middle.
