Lieberman predicts fight over Bush’s Iraq plan: Invokes 9/11 terrorists
WASHINGTON - Sen. Joe Lieberman, whose pro-war views have sparked sharp criticism from liberals, sees an acrimonious fight ahead in Congress over President Bush’s expected call for up to 20,000 more U.S. troops in Iraq.

“This will be a battle,” Lieberman, I-Conn., said Tuesday in an interview with The Associated Press. “It’s going to be a momentous debate up here. And I believe it will determine in many ways how safe our future is and what our prospects are in the larger war against the Islamist terrorists who attacked us on 9/11.”

Lieberman’s remarks came on the eve of President Bush’s long-awaited address outlining a revised war strategy. During the nationally televised address scheduled for Wednesday night, Bush is expected to call for more American forces to quell sectarian bloodshed in Iraq...

Lieberman, a Democrat turned independent who was assailed for his pro-war views during his fall re-election race, said he will take a hard line in advocating for sending more troops to Iraq.

11. I know. I was raised to never use the word "hate", and I try to avoid it now
but this man is just beyond the pale, decent human being-wise.

3. It is my most fervant wish..
That he be tossed over the side just as fast as humanly possible when we inevitably increase our majority in 08.
That reason alone, is worth the push to increase our majority in the senate.
Unfortunatly for now..we need the idiot.

6. Big Pharma can come up with a weight loss pill for dogs
Yet there's still nothing that can treat this idiot's failure to understand what being a Democrat is. Amazing.

10. Proof Please

"Islamist terrorists who attacked us on 9/11"

Will they just freaking arrest Bush & Cheney et al for 9/11 and quit with the fairy tale of "islamist" terrorists. The "terrorists" are currently occupying the White House. That 9/11 card has just been played & played - and the people are on to it - so just arrest them already!!!

13. Which begs the question:
What part of "Iraq didn't have anything to do with 9/11" do you not understand you diseased spawn of an intestinal parasite?
