He leveled a specific criticism about Kerry, namely, that he supported the use of force and troops against Iraq but then did not support the troops with his statements once they were there. I would add to that the fact that he opposed the use of force against Saddam in 1991, when Saddam had invaded another country, but not in 2002-03. And as I have pointed out several times, Kerry has repeatedly opposed defense spending even though defense spending on a real per capita basis has declined slightly over the past 25 years while social spending on a real per capita basis has gone up by over half a trillion dollars (annualized) during that same time frame.

I personally think Dean would be a terrible President. I am not supporting him. You, on the other hand, are supporting Kerry. I have indicated some very specific concerns about Kerry, as have others, in particular about his judgment on defense and security issues. To "respond" to these concerns by saying that Dean is bad is not a response at all. It's dodging the issue.
