Late Final: : Dean: We're Not Safer

Dean: We're Not Safer

Democratic presidential frontrunner Howard Dean, elaborating today on his view of Saddam Hussein's capture:

The capture of Saddam is a good thing which I hope very much will help keep our soldiers safer. But the capture of Saddam has not made America safer.

He also takes a thinly-veiled swipe at Japan and other allies:

As President, I will be far more interested in allies that stand ready to act with us rather than just willing to be rounded up as part of a coalition.

Will Dean ever make sense? Nevermind.

So would he trade Australia, Britain, Spain, Poland, Japan, Italy, etc. for France, Russia and Germany?

That's a recipe for success all right.
