Lieberman skeptical of Iran, Syria talks

[deadparrot]

WEST HAVEN — Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman Monday tamped down expectations that the Iraq Study Group will provide a template to halt the deteriorating situation in Iraq, as he remains skeptical of what is expected to be its key recommendation — direct talks with Iran and Syria.

The senator made his comments to the press after touring the Errera Veterans Administration Community Care Center, which provides housing, job, mental health and substance abuse counseling for veterans.

Lieberman, who was re-elected to the Senate after a bruising nine-month battle, was there to talk about a $770,000 grant for homeless veterans.

The study group, headed by former GOP Secretary of State James Baker and former U.S. Rep. Lee H. Hamilton, a Democrat, met Monday and are meeting again today, to hash out a new strategy to end the spiraling violence in Iraq, which left 3,709 civilians dead in October, the highest toll since the war began.

9. Lieberman's credibility on Iraq is zero.

He's been gunning for Iraq since 1998 and his beloved invasion is an utter fiasco.
Hasn't Joe figured out that neoconservatism is dead?
Well, he has to say something to appear relevant for his McCain/Lieberman run in 2008.
