I'm been to sick to be online so I would like to a bit lately express my opinions on the current events.

http://www.deanforamerica.com/ Statement by Governor Dean on the Capture of Saddam Hussein
Dec. 14, 2003, WEST PALM BEACH-- Governor Dean issued the following statement this morning:
"This is a great day for the Iraqi people, the US, and the international community.
"Our troops are to be congratulated on carrying out this mission with the skill and dedication we have come to know of them.
"This development provides an enormous opportunity to set a new course and take the American label off the war. We must do everything possible to bring the UN, NATO, and other members of the international community back into this effort.
"Now that the dictator is captured, we must also accelerate the transition from occupation to full Iraqi sovereignty."

In a major national security policy address delivered today in Los Angeles, Governor Dean stressed the importance to U.S. security of rebuilding America’s international alliances and partnerships. He charged that advocates of a go-it-alone approach in the current administration "are leading America in a radical and dangerous direction."
"When it comes to our national security, we cannot afford to fail," Governor Dean said. "September 11 was neither the beginning of our showdown with violent extremists, nor its climax. It was a monumental wake-up call to the urgent challenges we face."
Governor Dean outlined his three-part program for national security:
Strengthen our military and intelligence capabilities so we are best prepared to defend America and our interests.
Rebuild our global alliances and partnerships, so critical to our nation and so badly damaged by the present administration.
Bring to bear these resources and alliances on our nation’s most critical and urgent national security priority: defeating the terrorists who have attacked America, continue to attack our friends, and are working to acquire the most dangerous weapons to attack us again.
I have only one thing to add, Amen! Now does anyone think this will get done under our current leadership?
