The source of Dean's foreign policy credentials
"What started as a point-by-point review of his economic and health care policies turned quickly into his dissertation on foreign affairs in Cuba, Saudi Arabia, North Korea and Iraq. Dean has been getting tutored on foreign policy by numerous experts, including retired Marine Gen. Joseph P. Hoar. He has also had several private conversations with retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark, the former NATO commander who some Democrats see as an attractive running mate for Dean if Clark does not join the race himself."

Could someone post Dean's Wall Street Journal op-ed referred to in the Post article.

2. Bushes credentials:::: He went to Disney Land
The Shrubs credentials were shit compared any any of the dems running.

Bush was a failure at everything he ever did. Look at him. He is a bad joke.

He cannot speak, he cannot reason, he can hardly remember, he stammers, stutters, has very poor body language, posture. Who but the blind can take this dude seriously?

4. The blind?
They can still hear his stupid, low-vocabulary, straining to find the "truth", stammering, idiotic, half-witted, moronic ass when he talks. The man just oozes ineptitude and arrogance.

3. I knew that Dean had been giving Clark's postions on foreign policy almost
verbatim and almost mentioned it here several times. I knew a flamefest would ensue so I didn't. At least now I know he got Clark's advice and permission.

5. I like the sound of that. Dean/Clark!
That my friends IS a winning combination.
And apparantly, after some recent DU polls, a ticket we all can support.

9. And Clark meets with the DLC and DNC, too.
Alterman said months ago on one of the cableshows that Clark was being groomed for the VP position if Edwards falters.

10. Source?
Why would you interpret input as the source? I can see acknowledging conversations as components but "source" implies the beginning of something. Do you have any evidence of that?

11. hey ... they're talking ....
That is a good thing. Sharing views between peers is a good thing. Perhaps we should all take a clue from that and realize that we are not enemies. We want to get to the same place. We just have slightly different ways of getting there. Of course, my way is better :D ... but still ...

A little respect please.
