Looking for the infamous Lieberman op-ed from the Wall St Journal

[NewJeffCT]

Is the now infamous Lieberman op-ed from the Wall Street Journal from either late last year or early this year, available online anywhere? You know, the one where he said that if we criticize the president, we undermine the war on terror...and, how we had better accept Bush as our president for the next 3 years.

I did a quick google search and got bits & pieces of it, but not the whole article.

What I am looking for is if he was specific to Democrats or not in regarding to criticizing the president? I am trying to compose a LTTE and want to cite critical quotes from the likes of Colin Powell & Chucky Hagel about Iraq.

Thanks

1. Here you go!

This from Media Matters: http://mediamatters.org/items/200512100004
"Nearly a month later, the extent to which the media ignored Hagel's criticism of Bush is simply stunning. A search of the Nexis database finds only 47 news stories that have mentioned Hagel and variants on the word "demonize"; only 16 stories mention Hagel's suggestion that Bush's criticism of those who disagree with him is "not democracy nor what this country has stood for."

That is a huge contrast to the wall-to-wall media coverage given Democratic Sen. Joe Lieberman's (CT) recent criticism of fellow Democrats. In a December 6 speech to the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessment, Lieberman said Democrats should not criticize Bush:

It is time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be Commander-in-Chief for three more critical years, and that in matters of war we undermine Presidential credibility at our nation's peril.

In both cases, a senior, high-profile senator criticized members of his own party. One might, therefore, think their comments would garner similar attention. If anything, Hagel's comments could be expected to receive wider media coverage; he was, after all, essentially saying that the president of the United States was engaging in anti-democratic and un-American behavior."

2. Thanks, but

Was his speech reprinted as an op-ed in the Wall St Journal, or not?

3. Took some time...

"Lieberman has stated that he doesn't think people should criticize a "wartime ... He responded by penning an op-ed in the Nov. 29, 2005 Wall Street Journal ..."

America can't abandon 27 million Iraqis to 10,000 terrorists.

The leaders of Iraq's duly elected government understand this, and they asked me for reassurance about America's commitment. The question is whether the American people and enough of their representatives in Congress from both parties understand this. I am disappointed by Democrats who are more focused on how President Bush took America into the war in Iraq almost three years ago, and by Republicans who are more worried about whether the war will bring them down in next November's elections, than they are concerned about how we continue the progress in Iraq in the months and years ahead. <snip>
