Lieberman Calls For More Troops
Lieberman Calls For More Troops

WASHINGTON -- President Bush may not be certain he wants more troops in Iraq, but Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman is.

"After speaking with our military commanders on the ground," he said Wednesday in an email, "I strongly believe that additional U.S. troops must be deployed to Baghdad."

Lieberman, D-Conn., visited Iraq last week with a Senate delegation. He also traveled to Kuwait and Israel.

Bush has been considering a "troop surge" to help secure the Iraqi capital, but told a news conference Wednesday he had made no decision on how to proceed.

18. They should encourage their children to enlist at once
Those that want war, should be the first ones being sent into battle.

4. I'm so glad he, at least officially, isn't a Democrat so they can't use that
against us any more.

I wish he was gone but at least the Connecticut Dems tossed him.

8. McCain calls for more troops, Bush wants more troops...
When this further escalation falls flat, all three of them will be further discredited all at once.

10. Why am I not surprised??
Lieberman is such a bush ass kisser. If bush said the sky was purple with yellow polka dots, Lieberman would concur.

14. Yep, keep 'em comin' Joe and fiends. . .







You know, because this war doesn't have ENOUGH carnage, pain, futility and grieving widows/families to it. That future monument in DC simply HAS to match or exceed the Vietnam tribute in name content. All so we can WIN the KBR/Halliburton Vietraq Bowl, right Joe? We're #1! We're #1!

15. No wonder 70% of CT Rebublican voters and the DLC like him so much...
...people who are wrong about EVERYTHING tend to gravitate towards each other.

Damn- I sure wish the Democrat had won instead of the GOP/DLC "independent" pick.

19. I trust that as of Jan. 3 the Courant will refer to him as Lieberman, I-Conn.
Edited on Wed Dec-20-06 07:27 PM by KamaAina
He was not re-elected as a Democrat. He does not speak for Democrats, certainly not about this. :grr:

Correction: They should be referring to him as an independent NOW, since the Congress to which he was, somehow, elected as a Dem has already adjourned.

27. May Jim Webb literally bump into him in the halls of Congress.
Do they share a committee together?

Joe, please go and enlist. Have your family join you. The Army is already broken thanks to you and your ilk. :grr:

32. If Lieberman's for it, I oppose it. If he's against it, I'm for it.
Good rule of thumb.

33. So you're against Dems controlling the Senate? Why?
Seems a radical position to take just to stake out a contrary position. Does that mean you are anti-choice, too?

Edited on Wed Dec-20-06 11:44 PM by Zhade
We could have had an actual liberal Dem, but noooooo, some Dem idiots had to vote for this guy even after he knifed the party in the back.

AND after he lied about his website being hacked...and after his campaign DEFIED federal election law on the missing $380,000.

And the article is wrong - HE IS NOT A FUCKING DEM!
