Source:Former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who led the latest poll released Thursday in the 2004 lead-off caucus state of Iowa, was not out in public, but was still the topic of conversation among many concerned with recent comments he made on Israel.
Dean has been under fire for suggesting the United States should not take sides in the Middle East conflict and Israel should get out of disputed territories of the West Bank. While he has insisted that he backs U.S. policy supporting Israel, statements made on Wednesday about Hamas raise new questions.
"There is a war going on in the Middle East, and members of Hamas are soldiers in that war," Dean said Wednesday.
