“You know, Harry Reid said a while ago that the war in Iraq is lost. It’s wrong. It’s not lost. In fact, I would say we’re beginning to win it. We’ve turned the tide with the new strategy. And in fact, I cannot conceive of a circumstance in which American forces would lose the war in Iraq, on the ground in Iraq. If we lose it, it’s gonna be lost here at home, in a different kind of war for public opinion and political support.”
Lieberman does the weasal by blaming dissenters (most of America.) If The United States lose in than it's the Left's fault. Blame it on the side that has had little political sway during the war.
Lieberman fails to note that violence has increased in Iraq. Twenty mortar rounds hit the once safe Green Zone. 130 people were killed by a suicide bomber in Norghern Iraq. 8 U.S. soldiers were recently killed in Baghdad. Lieberman has a bizarre idea of what victory is.
You know, I often think Holy Joe is even worse than many of the Republicans with whom he climbs into bed (now there's an unappetizing visual). Worse, because he is so convinced of his worthiness as a senator and his moral uprightness, it never occurs to him how utterly hypocritical he must seem to real Democratic citizens. At least the Republicans aren't, for the most part, pretending to be Democrats. They may be evil warmongerers, but at least we know who and what they are. Joe, not so much. Well, we know what he is--just not who he is.
