Is Lieberman Really Cheney’s Sockpuppet?

Dick Cheney Joe Lieberman is still trying to start a larger war.

“I think we’ve got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq,” Cheney Lieberman told Bob Schieffer. “And to me, that would include a strike into… over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers.”

The Indepedent former Republican from Wyoming Democrat from Connecticut said that he was not calling for an invasion of Iran, but he did say the U.S. should target specific training camps.

“I think you could probably do a lot of it from the air, but they can’t believe that they have immunity for training and equipping people to come in and kill Americans,” Cheney Lieberman said.

Cheney Lieberman, who has been one of the Congress’s most outspoken supporters of the Bush administration’s Iraq war policies, said that continuing the fight in Iraq and confronting Iran are necessary for achieving a wider peace in the Middle East.

If the U.S. does not act against Iran, “they’ll take that as a sign of weakness on our part and we will pay for it in Iraq and throughout the region and ultimately right here at home,” Cheney Lieberman said.

He said that he has seen evidence that the Iranians are supplying insurgents and foreign fighters in Iraq.

“By some estimates, they have killed as many as 200 American soldiers,” he said.

I want Lieberman stripped of his seniority the moment the 2008 elections are over.
