Flashback: Lieberman Was an Early Supporter of Iraq War

10/2/02: Joe Lieberman was very eager to authorize Bush "to take military action to protect the region and the world from Iraq under Saddam Hussein." He was one of the senators who shared the stage with Bush before the House & Senate approved the war 9 days later.

Lieberman says, "There is no more fateful, important, or difficult responsibility that the Constitution gives members of Congress than to decide when, whether, and how to authorize the President as Commander-in-Chief to go to war. Mr. President, in your eloquent, powerful, and convincing statement this morning, you have reminded us, and I believe the American people, about why this is such a circumstance."

Lieberman concludes by saying that the resolution authorizing the war in Iraq is "the best hope for a stronger America and for a life for the American people that is safer."

He just said that the US should attack Iran, God lets send em to Israel he'd be happy with that other Lieberman.

All Lieberman cares about is Israel.

Lieberman will support an attack on the Iranians too. But he will do what he can to suppress an investigation into the attack on the USS Liberty. Never heard of it? The most decorated warship in American history? Case in point...Face the reality. Or face the alternative.

Quite pussy footing around. Lieberman is a rabid Zionist who hated the Iraqis for sticking up for the Palestinians. It isnt a dumbocrat/republiconvict issue. His type are so brave they are willing to fight who Israel hates..to the last American. Faced with the ugly facts, these Israel firsters can only hiss 'anti semite'. The same as we see the Illegal alien lobby hiss 'racist' when we try to defend our borders.

"Party loyalty" is MOST of what's wrong with politics in this country... this shouldn't be about party. And besides, Lieberman votes with the Democrats well over 90% of the time. BTW, you made a complete fool of yourself by tossing your and "good ol' boy" and "loyalty" comments in the same post. Sadly, you probably don't even see the irony of your own words.

Leiberman is a textbook case of what is wrong with having career politicians. I have seen much touted of his 'seniority,' but the way this translates to me is his status in the "good ol' boy" network. I'm glad to see someone who appears to be as earnest as Mr Lamont stand up and challenge this. Leiberman showed his true colors on Iraq, and on his lack of party loyalty.

Isn't it great that George W. Bush has such great respect for the rule of law, as Republican Joseph Leiberman states, as long its only for someone other than himself. Too bad Leiberman wsn't more honest and simply switched to the Repubican party, the party of death, war, destruction, and the world leader in criminal activity.
