Lieberman: 'I Worry About' Whether Obama Has 'The Right Stuff To Bomb Iran':

In an interview with the right-wing magazine Newsmax yesterday, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) called Sen. Barack Obama's worldview "naive." Asked if Obama had "the right stuff to bomb Iran if it came to that level," Lieberman replied, "I worry about that":...

35. out of touch much Joe
I think your exactly right. Americans worry about paying the rent (mortgage), paying for gas, paying for food, will there job be there tomorrow... bombing Iran isn't on soooooo many Americans list. That Joe is why your guy is losing. No one cares about Iran when they can't feed their family. The economy isn't that good Joe. Haven't you noticed yet?

5. No, it's Likud induced madness
sadly it's a common disease in Washington DC among those who drink too much AIPAC koolaid. Joe drinks that shit by the pitcher.

24. Killing Muslims is what Holy Joe dreams of
It's his mantra.

Holy War for Holy Joe.

Traitor to world peace.

6. Read Michael Scheurer's book Marching Toward Hell.
Then you will really know how wrong Lieberman is and how he is leading us toward hell.

41. Good thing the weasel is not leading us to nowhere
And also: good thing he's actually leading himself to complete irrelevancy: http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2008/Senate/Maps/Oct08-s.html

Not done yet but sure Hope so anyway.

7. I don't know why...but that just made me laugh when I read it.
He is getting ready to flip to the neo-con party and officially become a repuke; maybe he is just trying on the rhetoric for size.

11. He's already a bigger warmonger than any republican in Washington
With the sole exception of Dick Cheney.

That is the whole reason Lieberman is supporting McCain. McCain = more war; Obama = at least the possibility of peace.

9. An irrelevant Senator makes an inane comment
and is quoted in a news source only read by far right ideologues and liberal outrage-addicts.

To turn this discussion towards something that actually matters, I predict that the Red Sox beat the Rays in 6, the Phillies beat the Dodgers in 7, and the Red Sox win the World Series in 5.

direction, what else or who else could? Do figs grow on thorns?

12. There Are Three Things That Can Fall Into Place To Make Me The Happiest Fucker In The World.
They all happen on election day. In order:

1. Obama wins.

2. We get 60 senators.

3. We can finally totally and completely marginalize that piece of shit fucker in the OP.

37. Unless we have exactly 49 or 59 Senators caucusing with us
we can marginalize him.

e.g. if we win 56 seats, it doesn't make a bit of difference if we get 56 or 57 votes for anything, so we might as well give him a paddleball and send him out to the hall.

15. A true psychopath. He worries about NOT bombing a country
What he should be worrying about is what happens when you do. Thousands of people die. Allies unite against you. and on and on.

He should be locked up in a loony bin

Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 05:40 PM by whosinpower
And that is precisely why it will not come to that level.

"That level" is a Bush level. No one wants to go there anymore.

And why isn't his friend McCain upbraiding him for talking out loud like that.
"You don't say that in public!"

23. Bombing Iran is off the table... right BO.
Edited on Wed Oct-08-08 06:34 PM by fla nocount
That will keep a Palin for President sign out of my front yard in 2012. I see nuclear power as a threat to the planet for millenniums but hey, there's that what's good for the goose and gander debate too.

Parity in either threat or good will is the solution in the middle-east. Let's hope that good will is the balance, but parity is the key to understanding if not peace. You would think that they were the were the same...understanding and peace.

Gonna be pretty lonely in the Senate next year, Lieberman. We loathe you and so do most Repukes. Maybe you and Grampy can set up the Irrelevancy Caucus.
