He's back on the Saddam issue, and he just sounds lame.

"You can say that it's great that Saddam is gone and I'm sure that a lot of Iraqis feel it is great that Saddam is gone," said the former Vermont governor, an unflinching critic of the war against Iraq. "But a lot of them gave their lives. And their living standard is a whole lot worse now than it was before."

As Dean fully well knows, a whole lot more of them gave their lives over the past 20 years keeping Saddam in power - the mass graves are evidence enough of that.

The 'standard of living' crack is just ridiculous. If this were WW2, he might as well have just said - but at least Hitler made the trains run on time.

Dean's finished on a national level as a serious candidate. Hopefully the Dems in New Hampshire agree so he can stop embarrassing himself.

UPDATE: An Iraqi blogger replies to Dean. Its harsh.
