Don't worry. Dean is working overtime to catch up. [wink]

On yesterday's "Hardball," Dean was asked by Joseph Nye, dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, what he would do about Iran. Here's what he said:

quote:

[*]The key, I believe, to Iran, is pressure through the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union is supplying much of the equipment that Iran I believe mostly likely is using to set itself along the path of developing nuclear weapons. We need to use that leverage with the Soviet Union, and it may require us buying the equipment the Soviet Union was ultimately going to sell to Iran, to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
That's four times Dean mentioned the Soviet Union--a country that hasn't existed for almost 12 years. [yuh huh]

Can anyone imagine how the left (and the media) would act if Bush had done that? They'd be going on and on about what an "idiot" he was, how this proved he had no ability to handle foreign policy, etc.
