Bush speaks about Lieberman

[IndianaGreen]

We heard from Holy Joe yesterday when he proposed a bipartisan war cabinet. Today we hear from Holy Joe's master:

One of those who has seen that progress is Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman. Senator Lieberman has traveled to Iraq four times in the past 17 months, and the article he wrote when he returned from his most recent trip provides a clear description of the situation on the ground. Here's what Senator Lieberman wrote -- Senator Lieberman wrote about the Iraq he saw: "Progress is visible and practical. There are many more cars on the streets, satellite television dishes on the roofs, and literally millions more cell phones in Iraq hands than before." He describes an Iraqi poll showing that, "two-thirds say they are better off than they were under Saddam Hussein."

Senator Lieberman goes on, "Does America have a good plan for doing this, a strategy for victory in Iraq? Yes, we do. And it's important to make clear to the American people that the plan has not remained stubbornly still, but has changed over the years." The Senator says that mistakes have been made. But he goes on to say that he is worried about a bigger mistake. He writes, "What a colossal mistake it would be for America's bipartisan political leadership to choose this moment in history to lose its will and, in the famous phrase, to seize defeat from the jaws of the coming victory." Senator Lieberman is right.

1. Is Lieberman a Zell Miller Demoncrat?

What value is Joemo to anyone but the Right especially Bush?

3. Does Lieberman care more about Isreal than the US? n/t

4. Israel had nothing to do about us attacking Iraq

Holy Joe does seem to care a lot for Bush. It reminds me of the relationship between David and King Saul's son, Jonathan.
