Dean Attacks Bush on Defense, Foreign Policy
Sun Nov 30 2003 19:00:14 ET
Howard Dean launched a full-throated attack on President Bush's foreign policy acumen Sunday in New Hampshire, saying Bush has "no understanding of defense," is conducting diplomacy by "petulance" and lacks "the backbone to stand up against the Saudis!"
WASHINGTON POST hottie Howard Kurtz is planning to file a report from Merrimack: "Amid a crush of well-wishers seeking autographs at a high school here, Dean said of Bush: 'I think he's made us weaker. He doesn't understand what it takes to defend this country, that you have to have high moral purpose. He doesn't understand that you better keep troop morale high rather than just flying over for Thanksgiving,' as Bush did in visiting Baghdad.
"At another town hall meeting, in Manchester, Dean added: 'Mr. President, if you'll pardon me, I'll teach you a little about defense.'"
