Lieberman: Obama made "right decision" tonight on Afghanistan
USA Today:
Obama did get support from some unfamiliar quarters. Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, a former Democratic vice presidential nominee who backed Republican John McCain in last year's presidential election, said he was encouraged by Obama's decision and suggested he had learned from President George W. Bush's experience. "It's the strategy that worked in Iraq," Lieberman said of increased troop levels.

5. Lieberman is a warmonger!
He wants the US to bomb Iran, which could well be the next country Obama is going to attack.

6. He also did something else today out of character:

snip//

UPDATED: Sen. Joe Lieberman has joined Leahy in calling for a repeal, an interesting move for the Connecticut Independent whose state is home to several insurance firms' headquarters.

“There is no reason that health insurers should be exempt from our federal antitrust laws,” Lieberman said in a statement.

“Anti-competitive conduct that reduces consumer choice and drives up prices is harmful to consumers and should be subject to the full range of federal remedies to end such practices," he added.

7. Does these now mean that Mr. Lieberman is back
in the good graces of DU? :shrug:

If so then C.O.P will follow and Mr. Lieberman will get support from DU the next time.

12. What is there to resolve exactly?
Edited on Wed Dec-02-09 12:23 AM by FrenchieCat
Are we supposed to be this dim and pliable.

Lieberman still loves Bush,
and is only focusing on more troops.
He's faint praising Obama with a purpose,
and it's working with some, but just the wrong somes.
