Lieberman: the "surge" has the enemy “on the run.”

As key Republican support for President Bush’s Iraq war strategy begins to erode, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman today urged fellow lawmakers and the public to give the American military surge time to work.

“We’ve got to think not about the next election but the next generation,” he told a Capitol Hill news conference.

The U.S. military surge, Lieberman contended, has the enemy “on the run.” The Connecticut senator, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, has been one of the Senate’s most vocal war backers, and would not let up today. His comments came three days after Sen. Richard G. Lugar, (R-Ind)., the highly respected top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, as well as Sen. George Voinovich, (R-Ohio), urged the White House to change course and begin, as Lugar put it, to downsize U.S. involvement in Iraq.

1. No longer time to walk between IED burial sites I suppose.

2. Shut up idiot

Sorry someone had to say it

[depakid]

3. This man is delusional

There's really no other way to explain it.

4. Joe Lieberman: The second case in recorded U.S. history of a

rat swimming towards a sinking ship :) (First was Texas Gov John Connolly's switch to GOP just as Watergare began to boil over.)

5. They know by September there will be no results

They're trying to soften up the public now with more delay. Nothing is going to work except pulling out!

[NI4NI]

6. Although, they stopped running long enough

to behead 20 people in Bagdad recently and dump them in the river.

[karlrschneider]

14. And kill a bunch of newly assigned Iraqi 'police'.

:grr:

[Larkspur]

7. I think the Iraqi insurgent surge has Bush & Cheney running to cover their you know what.

[badgerpup]

8. Wait a minute...I have a valid question, I think.

the "surge" has the enemy “on the run.”

OK...in that oxytocin-fuddled,* testosterone-riddled grey sponge that Lieberman is using for a brain...
Who, or what, is The Enemy?



* the condition of being in love increases the amount of oxytocin (NOT oxycontin) in the brain.
This facilitates bonding, as well as making the person in love goofy-ass hap-hap-happy.

9. He definitely needs to be drug tested along with the others drinking that koolaid. n/t

[BlooInBloo]

10. Behold the genius wrought by the skilled and benevolent Connecticut electorate...

... fucking piece of shit fuckwipes.

[O.M.B.inOhio]

11. Our troops have "Joementum!"

We can't pull them out as surely as Lieberman won the '04 primary.

[ljm2002]

12. Yeah, Joe, tell it to the families...

...of the 20 people whose beheaded bodies were taken out of the Tigris yesterday. Yeah, those insurgents / sectarians are really on the run, all right.

[Loki]

13. I look forward to the day

when this delusional POS is stripped of all his committee chairmanships by a newly elected large Democratic majority. and then gives his concession speech when he is voted overwhelmingly out of office.

[Cha]

15. lieman is a lyin' little

brainrunt who has diarrhea of his gin hole.

[cureautismnow]

16. Really, Joe? Where do you plan to run to? n/t

[Disturbed]

21. Yeah, the Insurgents run out of harm's way and

return when the US Occupiers move to a different place. I read that there are around 200,000 Insurgents and around 2,000 al Q members in Iraq. Is the US Military doing to kill enough Insurgents and al Q to stop the carnage? Now the Busholini is trying to morph the Insurgency into al Q to have the American Public believe that all the problems in Iraq are due to al Q, the most nasty of all Terrorists on this planet. Lieberman is pathetic! Why does the Dem Party allow him to stay in their party when he has declared that he is an Independent and participates in fund raisers for a Repug?

[tanyev]

17. Joe spent an awful lot of time thinking about the next election after

he lost the Democratic primary and formed his bogus Connecticut for Liebermann party. STFU, Joe.

[TygrBright]

18. Oooooookay.... and WHAT color is the sky in Joe's little world today? n/t

[Individualist]

25. Same as it is every other day - DLC yellow.

[MiniMe]

19. Yes Joe, as we have seen the last few days, the Repuke Senators are on the run

Dick Luger, Voinovitch, and whoever spoke out today are starting to run from the surge.

[Johonny]

20. I agree with Joe

The Iraq war should be a message to the next generation NOT TO ELECT PEOPLE LIKE JOE LIEBERMAN

[David__77]

22. Lieberman IS the enemy.

How terrible that the people of CT were duped.

[sampsonblk]

23. He's right about one point

"We’ve got to think not about the next election but the next generation."

Short-term thinking is why we've been getting our asses kicked.

[Swamp Rat]

24. We should send him a case of K-Y jelly.

[Edweird]

26. Only if "on the run" = running amok.

[damntexdem]

27. In a way, he's right. It does have our enemies on the run:

Dubya, Cheney, Lieberman himself ...
