Joe Lieberman's Secret Plan to End the Iraq War

[NewJeffCT]

I thought this was hysterical, so I wanted to share it with fellow DUers.

This is from left-of-center radio show personality Colin McEnroe, who also writes for the Hartford Courant. Joe Lieberman’s hissy fit on his afternoon show in the Spring of 2006 really showed a lot of Connecticut Dems what an ass Lieberman really is… McEnroe had merely said he was going to look into just announced candidate Ned Lamont, and Lieberman called him up and literally had a hissy fit on the air, acting indignant that McEnroe could even do such a thing. McEnroe is on weekdays from 3-6 on AM 1080, which you can pick up at www.wtic.com.

As you recall, in Dec of 2005, Lieberman wrote an infamous op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that said that Democrats should accept Bush as president and if we criticized Herr Bush, it was tantamount to treason. And, he wrote with his "divorced from reality" or intentionally dishonest view upon getting back from Iraq.

And, last week, in December of 2006, after also getting back from Iraq, Lieberman is saying that the soldiers he spoke with support escalation of the Iraq War where he went back to his "divorced from reality"/intentionally lying ways after running as an anti-war candidate in the Fall of 2006.

But, this is McEnroe's imagining of Lieberman's December 2007 opinion piece.

Sen. Joe's Secret Plan To End The War
As Filed Dec. 31, 2007

I have just returned from a 10-day tour dealing with the problems of the Middle East, including a meeting with the Iraqi parliament, although that was in London, which is where the Iraqi parliament meets now that it is no longer convenient to meet in Iraq, because none of the surviving members of the Iraqi parliament live in Iraq anyway.

Big deal, I say. We should have done it this way from the very beginning, the way you open a big musical in Philadelphia or Boston before you bring it to Broadway. The Iraqi parliament should have started by meeting somewhere like Brussels or Los Angeles, and then, once they came to enjoy each other's company, we could have moved it closer, maybe to Istanbul.

Anyway, do you know what was the first question every single member of the parliament asked me?

How is President Bush doing? Is it really true that former Vice President Cheney shot him in the head? Was it really an accident? Why did ccting President Cheney bomb Djibouti? How long can acting President Cheney hold Ms. Pelosi and the Iraq Study Group in Guantanamo without preferring actual charges of treason against them?

True, pretty much everybody else is trying to kill one another. And true, when al-Qaida announced in May that they were pulling out of Iraq because it was just too darned dangerous, many thought that signaled the end our mission.
