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,”
CheneyLieberman 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 WyomingDemocrat 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,”
CheneyLieberman said.
CheneyLieberman, who has been one oftheCongress’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,”
CheneyLieberman 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.
There’s still the supermajority for cloture to overcome.
I’m optimistic for 2008 but at best the Senate will be 55-1-1-43.
Besides, the Senate is the ultimate insiders club. They won’t dump their buddy.
Fuuny – when the Iranian president says that Israel will self-destruct like the Soviet Union, everbody inluding the head of the UN rush to condemn him.
When the US president threatens to nuke Iran and when a US congressman urges attacking the country and when all the presidential candidates say that attacking another country is merely an “option on the table” as if they have som god-given right to bomb other peopl,e there’s hardly a murmer of condemnation from anyone least of all the UN heab Mr Ban.
Who is a threat to the world here? Who is the rogue state?
Yes, he is. What a national disgrace Joe has turned into.
Manchurian candidate brain implanted microchip, the newest souped up model of course.
why don’t we wait till 2010 or whenever that piece of garbage has to run again! Well, I will tell yall- the scumbag should be told to get the hell out of dodge NOW. It won’t make a bit of difference. the dems can’t hold together anyhow so screw the traitor- and that is what he is. a goddamned traitor.
Every single parent of any wounded and killed GI from Ct should march on that bastard and pin him to the wall. He ran for VP? I would bet that he was giving the goopers info to use against Gore. Now he is talking about his knowledge about Iranian training camps. Who else is talking about these socalled training camps? I really wonder what else the no good sob sold this country.
Strip him now!
you missed out
So surely that justifies almost any activities taken by anyone against the USA?
A few months ago I was looking over some New York newspapers from fall 01 and amazed to read about several instances (speeches iirc) of Lieberman warning Saddam not to take our “distraction” by Afghanistan as an opportunity. Were any other senators making speeches like that? he must have been already on board as sockpuppet.
Prior to the last election, Lieberman was odd but not insane. Right now he is unhinged.
I wonder if (like McCain) he has some perverted sense that the world has done him wrong? How could he have seemed so rational in 2000, right but righteous in 2006, and now be so totally separated from reality?
If he were in Starfleet, we could get the doctor to certify him. Now what?
Lieberman hasn’t recovered from the rejection he suffered in the 2006 Democratic primary for US Senator. He still feels that he personally owns the seat in the Senate, not that it was given him by the citizens of the state of Connecticut.
Incidentally, Lieberman will be around until 2012, having just won reelection in 2006. By then, I think he will have decided to choose retirement rather than another bruising reelection bid. The cosmic tides are flowing against the junior Senator and he knows it. He’s just trying to make money while the opportunity still exists.
Besides having it both ways by running for Veep and Senate, he caved in the post-election fight and was always droopy dog on the campaign trail. He sucked, basically, and his selection was one of Gore’s bigger mistakes.
and get this…makes reference to the Iranians providing Chinese made armor piercing weapons…
So What’s next in the GWOT?
