Dean, a former Vermont Governor, said that “Iran is the farthest thing from an Islamic Republic” and Iran is not “a Muslim country”, it is instead a republic that has been “hijacked by thugs and murderers”.
Speaking about the Iran nuclear agreement he said that although he was not opposed to it, the final deal was not a “good deal” – the regime got a lot more than they should have. The regime is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism and they are creating difficulty for US allies, he said. In a few years, he added, we will know whether the deal worked or not, and that result will contribute to Obama’s reputation as a good or “not-so-good” president.
Regarding Saudi Arabia’s presence at the event, the interviewer asked Dean if he believes that Saudi Arabia really is an ally of the US. Dean said that although he has his problems with the country, namely its disrespect for human rights, he does believe that they are true allies. He said they are a “key partner”.............http://www.stopfundamentalism.com/news/terrorism/2076-howard-dean-iran-is-the-farthest-thing-from-an-islamic-republic
