Lieberman asks if Iraq war should be expanded 'in Iranian territory'

http://rawstory.com//news/2007/Obama_Holding_Iraq_hearing_on_911_0911.html

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, who is among the Senate's fiercest hawks, blamed Iran for the deaths of "hundreds of American troops," and claimed the US has evidence that Iran is training insurgents outside Tehran before sending them to Iraq. He asked whether the US should expand its invasion into Iran.

"Is it time to give you authority, in pursuit of your mission in Iraq, to pursue those Iranian Quds Force operations in Iranian territory, in order to protect Americas troops in Iraq," Lieberman (I-CT) asked at a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of US troops in Iraq, demurred, but did not shoot down the idea of an expansion into Iran.

"I think that really the Multinational Force Iraq should just focus on Iraq and that any kinds of operations outside the borders of Iraq would rightly be overseen by the Central Command," Petraeus said.

:sarcasm:

You go first Joe.

I'm sure Billy Kristol, Wolfowitz and Perle will happily accompany him. - they're all such manly-men!

Just like the Crusades of 13th Century.

moment when Lieberworm crawls in.

and what did Reagan do? He left Lebanon. So did Reagan do the right thing or did he claim defeat?

Of course Liber-Kissinger (minus the brains) we should definitely bomb Cambod-Iran.

What a shmuck.

JINSA, AIPAC, and every other hawk Israeli association. It is sickening. Israel leaders and hawks no longer deserve any respect. I feel like my brothers and sisters in Israel who are for peace are in deep trouble because of people like Joe Leiberman.

The U.S., Israel, and UK (and most of European leaders by their silence) are for world destruction and infinitely against peace of any kind.

Blessed be the peacemakers ... (throw all the Bibles out - this is the only thing we need to know along with Blessed are the children.)

to catch my breath and stop myself from typing them.

A novel solution. :crazy:

Now, guarding the munitions dumps after the invasion might have done that. Or pursuing the system that "lost" so many US weapons in shipment, but more and bigger wars?

Joe's really unbalanced.

for VP on the Bush ticket '00. Wonder why he was standing with Gore.

<SNAP!> Oh no he didn't!

Petreus answered the question by saying the US Forces in Iraq should maintain their focus on Iraq and Iraq alone and SHOULD NOT GO AFTER ANY TROOPS IN IRAN EVEN IF THEY HAVE PROOF OF THEIR AIDING INSURGENTS IN IRAQ. Any military action considered should be handled by a higher command.

BOOOOYEAH! Total facial to Lieberman.


So now when Bill'O or Kristol or any other MSM talking head says that the US needs to chase after terrorist who go into Iran, we can counter that their very own anointed military leader said that we should not.


Excellent.

WHAT country is it he represents? I keep forgetting.
