Anti-war Democrat Howard Dean said Monday the capture of Saddam Hussein doesn't alter his opposition to President Bush's policies on Iraq as he outlined plans to repair alliances, bolster U.S. forces and fight ``catastrophic terrorism'' carried out by weapons of mass destruction.

``The capture of Saddam Hussein hasn't made America safer,'' the former Vermont governor said in direct contradiction of Bush.

Dean and two other Democratic presidential candidates delivered speeches that sought to pivot from Saddam's capture to new ground for criticizing the Republicans' foreign policies. Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina and Wesley Clark joined Dean in saying Saddam's capture gives the United States a chance to correct the course in Iraq.

3. Good for Dean

He should not change his message, since he is still right. The capture of Saddam has not made America safer and this war was still wrong.

4. I heard that Pat Buchanan

spoke well of Dean's message saying that Dean has not wavered in his position and spoke like a true statesman today. I posted this to ask did anyone hear it on MSNBc but no answer. DID anyone hear the speech/Buchanan?

6. Yes, I saw and heard it.

They don't want to respond to good news about Dean. Keep posting anyway. Buchanan dissed Kerry, though,and he should not have.
