Dean: The Man Who Would be President
If an alien out in space heard Howard Dean's interview on WAOI, San Antonio yesterday, the alien might have thought he was listening to our country's leader speak:
"I think we need a strategic redeployment over a period of two years," Dean said. "Bring the 80,000 National Guard and Reserve troops home immediately. They don't belong in a conflict like this anyway. We ought to have a redeployment to Afghanistan of 20,000 troops, we don't have enough troops to do the job there and its a place where we are welcome. And we need a force in the Middle East, not in Iraq but in a friendly neighboring country to fight (terrorist leader Musab) Zarqawi, who came to Iraq after this invasion. We've got to get the target off the backs of American troops.
(Cue Hail to the Chief)
You have to say this for him: Dean's chutzpah has taken him a long way from being an unknown doctor to loudmouth for the Democrats. I'm wondering, though, if he has military advisers who told him about strategic redeployment? It sounds great, but will it work?
It's gone beyond questioning his patriotism at this point; I'm beginning to question his sanity.
Joe at Geosciblog has a few things to say on this subject!

His sanity is in question here, no doubt about it. Dean could have easily had a part in "Men In Black." Next time we locate another planet, it should be named after him: Planet Dean.
