Lieberman: After Iran wipes out Israel and ‘Arab countries’ in the Middle East, ‘we’re next!’»

Yesterday on ABC’s This Week, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I- CT), chief surrogate for Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) presidential campaign, complained that the “Iranians have consistently” refused to suspend its uranium enrichment. When host George Stephanopoulos asked if Israel should then attack Iran, Lieberman said, “That’s up to Israel,” warning that Iran not only represents an “existential threat” to Israel but also the Middle East and the United States:

LIEBERMAN: That’s up to Israel obviously, but I would say that obviously Israel is first in the line of Iranian fire. And it represents an existential threat to Israel. But you know who is next? The Arab countries in the Middle East and they’re worried about the Iranian program and want us to ask strongly to stop it. And we’re next! Because Ahmadinejad in Tehran constantly leads the mobs in shouts of death to America. And they mean it.

3. Is Lieberman a one-issue fixiated politician?

I almost never hear him speak out about anything else at all. Every time he speaks it seems to be about war in the middle east, terrorism, and killing.

4. It's the issue that animates our Senator Palpatine

You'd think that such an existential threat to the United States would be accompanied by an urgent call for a draft so that all able-bodied young men and women could be mustered for the defense of our nation against this mortal threat. But Lieberman does no such thing; does't he buy his own argument?

7. He SOOOOO resembles Senator Palpatine......

...... and Mr. Burns from the Simpsons.

8. In other words...

"Iran is a horrible country because they don't recognize Israel and they say we should be wiped off the earth. We want peace. So Israel should attack Iran and wipe them off the earth. Then there will be peace."
