Lieberman has always been a mouthpiece for Israel. The one thing that made him palatable to many was that he was socially liberal .. sort of.
After his support for the mindless miserably failed war in Iraq produced the unintended consequence of empowering Iran beyond their wildest dreams, he then further makes an ass out himself and seeks to kill more American soldiers by single-handedly declaring war on Iran.
"If [the Iranians] don't play by the rules, we've got to use our force, and to me, that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they're doing."
He's another chicken-hawk coward who has never donned the uniform himself.
If the US attacked Iran the Shite Iraq's would retaliate by attacking US forces in Iraq. The US has had it's hands full just trying to keep the Sunni's off of us, but Lieberman now wants to enrage the Shite majority even further. He couldn't care less about the deaths of our brave men and women in uniform that he seeks to have murdered.
Lieberman was the principal author of the 1998 Iraq Liberation Act, which gave $100 million to now discredited liar extrodinaire Ahmad Chalabi, who provided the lies needed by Lieberman and the Bush horde to invade Iraq, and who was later exposed as a spy for IRAN. The Bush Administration was paying Chalabi $340,000.00 a month.
Even after Chalabi was exposed Lieberman continued to defend him, calling him a "patriotic Iraqi whose counsel was important to us". That counsel was a PROVEN total fraud and turned out to be part of a plan by Iran to get rid of Saddam .. AT OUR EXPENSE. At the expense of tens of thousands of dead and wounded American soldiers. At the expense of hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis. At the expense of American prestige, honor, respect, and global influence. .. Not to mention almost a trillion dollars.
Lieberman's continued support for Chalabi came about the same time the NSA reported that he told the Iranians that the US had broken Iran's encryption code.
Now, while Bush and nearly all republicans recognize the need to have dialouge with the Iranians, Lieberman declares war.
When those of us protested the selection of Lieberman as Gore's running mate, we were attacked by mainstream democrats who shouted the now idiotic ABB mantra. Had this monster become president, which I'm almost positive he would have and Gore would not have made it through one term alive, he would have been worse than Bush. He would have sided with republicans, followed the bidding of PNAC, Isreal, and the neocons, who are all the same three-headed beast, and launched this nation into complete disaster.
My vote for Nader has never made more sense.
