Dean's Take on Bush's "Policy" Speech

Here's the Hardball transcript of Howard Dean's interview with Chris Matthews.

Look, I make no excuse for terrorism. People who blow up women and children ought to have the full wrath of the United States down upon them. What I have a problem with is the bad judgment of this president and his administration in deciding how you can best fight terrorism.

You send troops over there. They don't have adequate body armor. They're still taking up collections to make sure they do have body armor. When the secretary of defense goes over there, he gets his Humvee flown in, and the guys over there don't have adequate protection
on the bottom of their Humvees.

This is not the way to run a war, and it's not the way to treat our soldiers.
