At best he was just kidding around. This was well explained shortly after (by someone who was there), but as with nearly everything the REAL story hardly gets told. Wish I had a link, but I don't.

As for the political assassination, the scream wasn't the real problem, the political assassination that resulted in his 3rd place iowa "win" was the REAL political assassination and it was engineered by Kerry, Gephardt and friends on behalf of Kerry, Vilsak and his machine, and Edwards and Kucinich had their little parts -- backroom deals -- to play as well.

Further, had the DNC not set up the primary so that Iowa would be definitive (by front loading it so that there wasn't enough time between Iowa and NH, let alone any of the other primaries), we might have had a very different outcome because even in the very short time before NH, Dean was making up the gap very nicely.
