Joe Lieberman is STILL talking about "Disarming Iraq".
From his web site:

Disarming Iraq. Long before President Bush came into office, Senator Lieberman was making a compelling case for removing the threat posed by Iraq under Saddam Hussein. Senator Lieberman served as lead Democratic cosponsor of the 1991 Gulf War Resolution. In 1998, he teamed up with Senator John McCain (R-AZ) to enact the Iraq Liberation Act, which stated that regime change in Iraq was U.S. policy. And in the fall of 2002, Senator Lieberman was a lead sponsor of a resolution authorizing the President to use force, if necessary, to disarm Saddam.

My question for Lieberman and everyone who still supports him is what weapons did Saddam have that needed to be disarmed? Lieberman knows very well there were no weapons of mass destruction, yet to this very day he insists on his web site that Saddam needed to be disarmed. For him to suggest these weapons were there is quite simply a lie on his part.

1. Maybe Joe doesn't know. He gets all his news from AIPAC and Blitzer.

7. Don't forget Sean Hannity...
He used to love to go on his show, at least until Ned Lamont came along.

2. Lieberman didn't know what Bush knew
However, I can't excuse his votes on the war, but I still will support him on election day.

3. Do you believe he should still be suggesting there were WMDs?
Lieberman is lying to Americans if he keeps insisting that there were weapons that needed to be disarmed.

4. Bush didn't know what Bush "knew,"
Lieberman probably knows as much which doesn't amount to MUCH!

12. Exactly, that and his primary allegience to Israel have made him blind.

13. At least he's gotten over Clinton's cock. Or has he?

Lieberman is a chickenhawk asshole who has damaged the Democratic Party.

I hope his opponent has an against-all-odds victory.

on edit: in the Democratic runoff, that is.
