David J at Resurrection Song weighs in:

Take Dean’s words and advice for what they are: a flawed understanding of the situation that lead to our military involvement in Iraq and an even more flawed solution to the difficulties that we still face.

John Hinderaker at Power Line:

It will be interesting to see whether other Democrats try to distance themselves from Dean. Frankly, I doubt that most will bother. The truth is that most antiwar Democrats not only believe we can’t win in Iraq, they hope we don’t win. They care more about scoring political points against the Bush administration than they do about the freedom of the Iraqi people or about America’s national security. So my guess is that they will see little to criticize in Dean’s latest outrage.
