Lieberman Escalates Attack on Iraq Critics
by Manu Raju

Ever since Connecticut Democrats refused to back him for a fourth term in Congress, Joe Lieberman has been burnishing his independent credentials in the narrowly divided Senate while becoming increasingly critical of the Democratic Party on the war in Iraq.

“I think either (Democrats) are, in my opinion, respectfully, naïve in thinking we can somehow defeat this enemy with talk, or they’re simply hesitant to use American power, including military power,” Lieberman said in a wide-ranging interview with The Hill.

As Lieberman sees it, however, the Democratic Party has slipped away from its “most important and successful times” of the middle of last century, where it was tough on Communism and progressive on domestic policy.

“I fear that some people take this position also because anything President Bush is for, they’ll be against, and that’s wrong,” said Lieberman, a staunch advocate of the war. “There’s a great tradition in our history of partisanship generally receding when it comes to foreign policy. But for the moment we’ve lost that.”

3. Harry Reid says "It's a good life."

He's afraid that Joe might wish the Democrats into the cornfield.

2. "Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?"

If you think it's so important Joe, get your ass over there and join the fight! NO? I didn't think so.

5. Please Please Please--Can we get a strong message

to Senator Lieberman. Many of us Americans have English
and Germanic Ancestory. We believe in a stiff
upper lip attitude. We have problems with people who
run around like Chicken Little --The Terrorists are
gonna get you. FEAR FEAR. SCARED SHAKE Scared Shake.

Our Government and Senator Lieberman are creating a situation
where people are not going to listen when it is serious.
Accept the fact, you have a real debacle on your hands.
and bravely do the best you can.

Senator Lieberman, please stop misjudging your own party.
Many of us take Terrorism seriously. You seem to think
the only thing that matters is one war after another.
Iraq has shown that there just be better ways to deal
with Terrorism.

Couldn't happen to a nicer warmonger.
