Which side is this guy on, anyway? He's not only Bush Light, he's just Bush. He wears a blue tie instead of a red tie, that's about it. It's too bad he doesn't have anything to say about the current administration and just constantly goes after Howard Dean and the other candidates.
Dean pointed out that Americans are not particularly safer since Saddam Hussein was captured. That Al Qaeda should be our real concern. To my mind, as an American who went out and bought 10 gallons of water and a new flashlight last week, this is fairly obvious. Our threat level has been raised since Saddam was captured. Our airliners are being escorted by fighter jets, foreign planes are being turned away, and we're practically strip searching fans at football games. Feel safer?
Well, you're not alone. 60% of Americans feel the same way. (Thanks to Atrios for the link.
Of course safety isn't just a feeling, it's a reality. More than 20 soldiers have been killed since he was captured. There is no sign that anything in Iraq is getting any better. It's a simple fact that we are not any safer than we were three weeks ago.
Lieberman compared this obvious truth to saying that gthe world wasn't safer when Nazi Germany was defeated because we still had Stalin to worry about. What a dick.
