You would think that the capture of a known enemy of the United States would be good news for Americans of all mainstream political stripes, but apparently that does not include the Dean campaign supporters, if his weblog is any indication. Here are just a few comments from Dean’s site, Blog for America (via Tim Blair):
HEY GUYS WAKE UP!!! THERE IS NO SUCCESS EXISTS IN THE UNJUSTIFIED WAR WHOEVER WAS CAPTURED!!! IT IS ONLY A DANGEROUS ILLUSION OF SUCCESS WHICH MAY LEAD ONLY TO THE NEXT WRONG JUGMENT AND NEXT WRONG DECISION SUCH AS A NEXT WAR!!! Term “success” in this war should be applied only in the light of bringing international community IN and USA OUT. …
I can’t believe this. I’m crying here. I feel that we now don’t have a chance in this election. …
I am feeling pretty upset as well. I think our chances are dropping fast. …
The damage caused by the Bush administration to our society is unaffected by Saddam’s capture …
In other news this morning — yes, yes, the world still goes on despite Iraq — the AP has a story on Bush’s growing media staff. Yikes. …
If overzealous Bush supporters are murdering people who speak out against the President, then America should know about it. A gun shot to the head. A quick ruling of suicide. Accusations of rape against the President. Prestigious, credible news organizations of Europe are discussing this news story in depth. Why can’t Americans make up their own mind? Why is this story buried in the American media?
I need a shower now … I feel unclean just for reading through this stuff.
