AP via KESQ:
What the SCLM don't understand is that Dean is not the "anti-war" candidate at all. What people (not just Democratic activists) are hungry for is someone, anyone, to stand up to this administration.
Dean does that. He's not a McGovern, certainly not a Eugene McCarthy. If anything, in his centrism, his occasional abrasiveness, and the way he "talks sense to the American people," he's a Truman.
Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean is accusing President Bush of manipulating terrorism fears while seeking support for occupation in Iraq.
Dean spoke on N-B-C's 'Today' show, in response to the president's national address last night.
Dean says Bush deliberately left a false impression that Saddam Hussein was involved in the September Eleventh attacks -- and that terrorists had been operating out of Iraq. According to Dean, there is no evidence proving either.
