Has this man ever found a war he didn't love or a country he didn't mind saber rattling against? From Fox News Sunday, Holy Joe thinks we need to be acting 'preemptively' in Yemen, whatever that means. And of course he agrees with wingnut Pete Hoekstra that we shouldn't close Gitmo.

WALLACE: We’ve got about a minute left and I want to ask you both a quick question about Yemen.

This is not the first time that we have seen possible ties between Yemen and terrorism. We’ve got the U.S. with Obama attacking -- air strikes in Yemen. On the other hand, the Obama administration sent six Guantanamo detainees back to Yemen.

Your thoughts about Yemen and what the U.S. role should be, attitude should be, towards that country?

HOEKSTRA: Yemen is a hot spot. We need to do everything we can to work with that government. We have about 90 Yemenis left in Gitmo. They should stay there. They should not go back to Yemen. If they go back to Yemen, we will very soon find them back on the battlefield going after Americans and other western interests.

WALLACE: And, Senator Lieberman, final 30 seconds?

LIEBERMAN: Well, I agree with Pete on this. I know the president made a promise that he’d close Guantanamo because of what it represented in world opinion.

But today it’s a first-class facility. It’s way above what’s required by the Geneva Convention or our Constitution. It would be a mistake to send these 90 people back to Yemen, because based on the past of what’s happened when we’ve released people from Guantanamo, a certain number of them have gone back into the fight against us.

Yemen now becomes one of the centers of that fight. I was in Yemen in August. And we have a growing presence there, and we have to, of Special Operations, Green Berets, intelligence. We’re working well with the government of President Saleh there.

I leave you with this thought that somebody in our government said to me in the Sana’a, the capital of Yemen. Iraq was yesterday’s war. Afghanistan is today’s war. If we don’t act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow’s war. That’s the danger we face.

1. Joe, Obama bombed or missled the shit out of them a week ago. It was in all the papers.

[Tansy_Gold]

2. Moron

If we act "pre-emptively," we're STARTING tomorrow's war.

You can't stop war by starting it.

Stupidity of this magnitude makes my head explode.

[Jim Sagle]

3. So our only choice is war today or war tomorrow? Fuck off, Joe.

[Fridays Child]

4. Let's just scorch the earth for a 1,000-mile radius around Israel.

Would that make you happy, Joe? x(

[Liberal Veteran]

5. Can we just invade Connecticut instead?

[laughingliberal]

8. +1 nt

[hlthe2b]

11. Drones over the Lieberman home in CT...

(unarmed, of course... just to show him for the chicken-shitter he really is)

[Xipe Totec]

6. Why make Yemen Tomorrow's War, when it can be Today's War?

:eyes:

[elleng]

7. And if we DO act preemptively, it WON'T be tomorrow's war?

[PDJane]

9. I would like to know WHY that whiny,

eternally lying putz is on the air, and if anyone still listens to him.

[Gregorian]

10. Lieberman Logic!

Someone needs to lead this man to a safe place where he cannot hurt anyone.

[LyndaG]

12. Great, now he thinks he's calling the shots

Frickin' Senate created a monster.

[SnakeEyes]

13. or he's just giving his opinion. nt

[L0oniX]

14. If We Don't Act Preemptively, Lieberman will continue to be a total asscarrot.

Take that mutha fucka off the senate arms committee. SPANK!

[muntrv]

15. Hey Joe! How about we lock down planet Earth? The ayvil dooers are everywhere.

[Kalun D]

16. Traitor Joes

We need to march on Washington and string all these type guys up by their heels.


K and R

[Jefferson23]

17. Lieberman: Iraq, yesterday's war, Afghanistan, today's war, Yemen, tomorrow's...

This is what pleases Lieberman, a war for every day of the week, all seasons covered too.

[Bitwit1234]

18. I have a good job for Liberman

Make him a general, send him to Yemen and let him take his sword with him and confront the enemy.

[mister1979]

19. Joe Lieberman is dead wrong here.....

.....The scenario of trying to fight endless wars and bottle down ourselves has to end. You cannot wage an effective terror war with an enemy you cannot see who happens to not be in just one country but worldwide. We should duct tape the mouths shut of all neocons like the Republicans and Fake Dems. Then we should build a good relationship with all of our friends inthe world to help us wage a smarter war on terrorism.

[Guilded Lilly]

20. What the hell...

Joe, let's pre-emptively bomb the world.
They could all eventually be a future war possibility.

Especially with people like YOU in the government.
YOU are the danger we face.

[AlbertCat]

21. I hope with all my heart Yemen will be TOMORROW'S war....

Because tomorrow never comes.....

[yourout]

22. They must be trying to buy Yellow cake just like Iraq was.

[Loudmxr]

23. Joe's solution always seems to be to shoot someone. He has anger management problems.

[donheld]

24. Why doesn't Joe get his fat ass over to Yemen and start fighting?

[winyanstaz]

25. what does that mean?

Iraq is yesterdays war....but aren't we still there?
Afghanistan is todays war....didnt we just escalate so it will be tomorrows war as well>?
Yemen will be tomorrows war if we don't attack them today? sheesh!

[The Wizard]

26. So let's get this right

Liebermann says he heard someone say something and that's his grounds for going to war.
Holy Joe is just another neocon warmongering punk who wants others to die so he can pound his chest like an angry gorilla. Joe Leibermann and his ilk can go eat shit and bark at the Moon.

[BEZERKO]

27. So, the senator from Aetna thinks

we need another war? What a back stabbing lunatic asshole egolomaniac!

[ScottLand]

28. Why not just blow up any country that has the power

to challenge us?

[Enthusiast]

30. And even that would not include Yemen. nt

[fascisthunter]

29. Maybe Americans Should Pre-emptively Lock Lieberman Up

for inciting war/warmongering.

See the folly of this pre-emptive philosophy?
