HARTFORD, Conn. -- Former President Bill Clinton is sticking up for U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman and his support of the Iraq war.
Clinton, who spoke at an Aspen Institute conference last week, questioned why Democrats in Connecticut are focusing on ousting a fellow Democrat, Lieberman.
"If we allow our differences over what to do now in Iraq to divide us instead of focusing on replacing Republicans in Congress; that's the nuttiest strategy I ever heard in my life," Clinton told the nonprofit cultural organization.
Clinton questioned efforts of some Democrats to impose a fixed timetable for removing U.S. troops from Iraq - something Lieberman opposes.
"Why send a signal to the people that are trying to keep Iraq divided and tear it up when we're gonna go," he asked.http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/news/local/state/hc-14200651.apds.m0968.bc-ct--senajul14,0,4431105.story?coll=hc-headlines-local-wireThread in LBN:
