Lieberman Escalates Attack On Iraq Critics
Source: The Hill

Ever since Connecticut Democrats refused to back him for a fourth term in Congress, Joe Lieberman has been burnishing his independent credentials in the narrowly divided Senate while becoming increasingly critical of the Democratic Party on the war in Iraq.

--
“I think either are, in my opinion, respectfully, naïve in thinking we can somehow defeat this enemy with talk, or they’re simply hesitant to use American power, including military power,” Lieberman said in a wide-ranging interview with The Hill.

“There is a very strong group within the party that I think doesn’t take the threat of Islamist terrorism seriously enough.”

--
As Lieberman sees it, however, the Democratic Party has slipped away from its “most important and successful times” of the middle of last century, where it was tough on Communism and progressive on domestic policy.

1. Lieberman sets up straw-men, barely knocks 'em down.

What a loon he is. I swear, I'd love to see an MRI scan of his brain. There's been some serious damage in there, I'm sure.

2. One falsehood after another, all of them from the Bush-Cheney playbook
What a fucking wretched piece of shit this shitbag is. As soon as we expand our majority in the Senate, this guy is going to get taken down several fucking notches by the leadership.

Would it be too obvious to observe that
it's almost exactly like a Zionist? And
just as dangerous to the planet in the
long run?

Please define. And if you think they were in Iraq before we invaded, you are sadly mistaken.

20. This is nothing new from him.
He's been on the same page in terms of foreign policy the whole time he's been in the senate. He covorted with the worst warmongers well before he was Gore's running mate. Which is why I was beyond horrified that Gore selected him. I could hardly even fathom him so close to the levers of presidential power.

25. That's because Joementum was "DODGING THE DRAFT"
Back then and his middle eastern backers had no dog in that fight.

Which is why his leash now is very short

29. Tell us like it is, Joe!
As Lieberman sees it, however, the Democratic Party has slipped away from its “most important and successful times” of the middle of last century, where it was tough on Communism and progressive on domestic policy.


Of course, we all know what happened to the Dems who decided that what was in the best interests of the Military-Industrial Complex (endless war) was *not* in the best interests of the Nation. Poppy helped the CIA and the Cubans take care of Jack (and blame it on the Commies), and every President since has written them a blank check.

But darn it if those Ruskies didn't stop playing!! So, Poppy lost his job, but worked with his buds, the Bin-Ladens, to help make a newer, bigger, better enemy, who could never be defeated, would never get tired, and never run out of money or people for the fight.

Perfect(ly evil)
