Dean Demands Saddam's Release, Recapture by U.N.
(2003-12-15) -- Democrat presidential candidate Howard Dean today said the capture of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein "lacks legitimacy because it was a unilateral effort by American forces."

"It's great that Saddam Hussein was caught, but we did it all wrong and he should be released immediately," said Mr. Dean, "This will allow him to be recaptured later by a true multilateral coalition led by the United Nations."

The former Vermont governor noted that U.S. forces acted pre-emptively to surround the area where Mr. Hussein had hidden, and declined the former Iraqi leader's offer to negotiate.

"It's just another example of cowboy diplomacy," he said. "The Bush administration's ignorance in foreign policy and military matters is stunning. Did they read Mr. Hussein his Miranda rights? Did he get his phone call? Was there even a search warrant? We in the global community demand the justice that only the United Nations can legitimately deliver."

#2 Al Sharpton on this listing of Democratic candidates responses:

AS - "I understand that Carol is listed first because of the "ladies first" rule, but I resent the fact that the only Black man on the list has to follow the seven white guys."

Me - "Uh, the candidates are listed alphabetically, Rev. Sharpton."

AS - "That just proves my point! The alphabet was invented by the Greeks -- who were white."

#4 Jim Geragthy, NRO Online: (snippet)

John Kerry emphasized on Fox News Sunday that now that Hussein was captured, the time was right to internationalize the U.S. mission there. (Please don't let British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, or Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi know that a sitting U.S. senator, not known to be on medication, is publicly complaining that the mission isn't "internationalized" â the diplomatic repercussions of an American leader ignoring their contributions and sacrifices could be severe.)

Heh.
