Since when do the opponents of the war value common sense?

Good for Senator Lieberman, at least he’s one dem that understands Iraq in the WOT.

Bump for a good report.

Three easy steps to a renewed America:

1) Fred Thompson stops stalling.

2) Joe Lieberman switches parties.

3) Duncan Hunter writes articles of impeachment.

A U.S. pullout, under fire, would represent an epic victory for al Qaeda, as significant as their attacks on 9/11. -Senator Joseph Lieberman

He is correct. You know, these enemies, al Qaeda and Iran, are able to destabilize areas of Iraq but not at will and not without great cost. Those who view them as invincible in Iraq are dangerously wrong.

These necessary legislative compromises would be difficult to accomplish in any political system, including peaceful, long-established democracies--as the recent performance of our own Congress reminds us.

Nice poke in the eye there to GrannyNanny and DingyHarry.

I want the VP nod to go to Joe. I don’t care about the domestic, I want a VP that will do what’s right to keep America safe if the next President should die. And when Thompson gets the nod, his Stature compared to Edwards or Hillary at the debates plus Joe’s stand against all our enemies and support of the military will clinch it. And while I’m at it, Thomas Sowell for Sec of Treasury.

Facts on the ground also compel us to recognize that Iran is doing everything in its power to drive us out of Iraq, including providing substantive support, training and sophisticated explosive devices to insurgents who are murdering American soldiers. Iran has initiated a deadly military confrontation with us, from bases in Iran, which we ignore at our peril, and at the peril of our allies throughout the Middle East.

Turmoil will continue in Iraq until we annihilate the Iranian problem.

Of course, since Bush will continue to do nothing while Iranians continue to kill and maim our troops, there is only one chance...

[Recovering_Democrat]

Joe, just quit caucusing with the loser Rats, will ya?

[NavyCanDo]

Lieberman - last of the Scoop Jackson type of Democrats. I may disagree with his on many social issues where he is quite liberal, but God Bless him for his solid stance on national security.

[CholeraJoe]

The war in Iraq is a quagmire and an unmitigated disaster. Every 30 seconds, an Iraqi baby is impaled on a US bayonet. Who are you going to believe? A Vice Presidential has-been loser or Dan Rather? /sarc

Joe Lieberman is no longer a Democrat. He's free to believe his own convictions. I'm glad he's in the Senate rather than Ned Lamont.

[Ooh-Ah]

This is very important!

The officials I met in Baghdad said that 90% of suicide bombings in Iraq today are the work of non-Iraqi, al Qaeda terrorists. In fact, al Qaeda's leaders have repeatedly said that Iraq is the central front of their global war against us.

[aShepard]

After reading his op-ed, he did a great job of being truthful as to the options in Iraq!

Lieberman understands the military effort, as well as he understands the huge threat of pulling out, or losing, this war.!
