Man, the Dems must hate him now..
Lieberman will need to recruit his own strike force. The Bush administration is as dead-in-the-water as the immigration bill.
Would that we had 200 other Democrats in Congress just like him....
William Kristol’s suggestion to make Lieberman SecDefense after Rumsfeld, instead of Gates seems to make more and more sense. I certainly wouldn’t mind having Lieberman as SecDef.
Lieberman is the last voice of common sense left in the Democrat party.
Joe's been reading my posts.
Way to go JOE: Or should be aptly re-named “Super Joe”- (as opposed to the “average joe ;)”)!
Good for Lieberman.
You can only pretend for so long that Iran is not intervening in Iraq, training terrorists, supplying them with weapons, and giving them support and a safe haven. We “have no evidence” that this is government supported.
Sure. That was clinton’s favorite phrase, after he had finished shredding the evidence: “There is no evidence!”
The Taliban and Saddam thumbed their noses at us because from the days of Carter to the days of Clinton, we demonstrated that we were reluctant or apparently afraid to strike back when we were attacked. They learned their lesson and there was a general increase in respect for our country among the Muslims.
But they heard our media, they heard the Euros and the Democrats calling for surrender, and when Bush failed to follow up, they grew increasingly bolder.
Now Bush has made it perfectly clear, through statements by Gates and Rice, that he doesn’t intend to do a thing about Iran. What kind of stupidity is that? Instead of walk softly and carry a big stick, it’s carry a big stick but tell the enemy you don’t plan to use it under any circumstances.
The peaceniks and the MSM will continue to treat him as a warmonger, yet he seems reluctant to finish up the job he started.
Agree completely, Joe. Unfortunately those who make the decisions are too frightened of the possible reaction of "the Islamic street" to take the appropriate action. Hell, they haven't even had the guts to go after that terrorist al-Sadr. ....for the same reasons. "Hearts and minds" bullsh/t.
As a result, Joe has become an honest man, again. He is saying what he knows and thinks, and he's a fairly bright guy. That does not salvage his reputation, in my mind, for his lies to protect Bill Clinton, and his lies to fit in with Al Gore. But it does guarantee that he will be worth listening to, for the balance of his Senatorial career.

If some of the “republican” senators like Collins and others had the convictions of Joe Lieberman the country might have a chance.
Bush won’t do this becasue he is too busy trying to F*** legal Americans with his Amnesty bill for otherworlders.
Lieberman may be a lib on domestic issues, but on defense, he is almost always on target.
his statement also shows some real courage.
You’ll see lots of pro Lieberman posts today and we may agree with him on this point. Just remember that he is far left on most other issues and was one of the chief conspirators in the attempt at discounting military votes and the attempted theft of the 2000 election.
i just sent him an e-mail to commend his statement.

he deserves our support—especially from freepers from CT.
Then why on earth is he still caucusing with the democrats?
hey..Joe....
are..you..the..first..to..recognize..the..Iranians..are..at..w?ar..with..the..US
yup,..they..are
and..have..been..since..Carter..seeded..it
(sorry..no..space..bar)
Maybe he should run for president.
I could handle a Thompson-Leiberman ticket.
Joe, don’t expect any support from the neutered Bush administration.
