No Anti-War Lefty, This Guy

No Anti-War Lefty, This Guy -- Just saw Howard Dean's address, "Fulfilling the Promise of America: Meeting The Security Challenges of the New Century."...

Empowered by the American people, I will work to restore:
The legitimacy that comes from the rule of law;
The credibility that comes from telling the truth;
The knowledge that comes from first-rate intelligence, undiluted by ideology;
The strength that comes from robust alliances and vigorous diplomacy;
And, of course, I will call on the most powerful armed forces the world has ever known to ensure the security of this nation.

I never thought I'd find myself in agreement with that arch-liberal Pat Buchanan, who, on MSNBC's analysis, called the Governor's speech "tough, bold, and statesmanlike." I guess there's a first time for everything.
