After losing the primary, Joe Lieberman changed his tune and began talking about ending the war in Iraq.  It's a very specific way of talking about ending the war, though, and you can see eery parallels between Lieberman and Nixon when Nixon lied about wanting to end the Vietnam War.  All of the Nixon quotes come from a speech on 11/3/69, which he gave a full 3 years and 9,000 American casualties before he was forced against his will by public pressure to end the war.

Nixon and Lieberman are very similar politicians, and it's not just that they both liked to use murky slush funds.

On Ending the War

EXAMPLE ONE

"I want peace as much as you do." - Richard Nixon, 11/3/69

"No one wants to end the war in Iraq more than I do." - Joe Lieberman, 10/18/06

EXAMPLE TWO

"I want to end the war." - Richard Nixon, 11/3/69

"I want to help end the war in Iraq." - Joe Lieberman, 8/11/06

On Support for the War

"Many others -- I among them -- have been strongly critical of the way the war has been conducted." - Richard Nixon, 11/3/69

"I have been very critical of a lot of the mistakes the Bush administration has made in Iraq." - Joe Lieberman, 10/18/06

On Moving Forward From Here

"Many believe that President Johnson's decision to send American combat forces to South Vietnam was wrong. But the question facing us today is: Now that we are in the war, what is the best way to end it?" - Richard Nixon, 11/3/69

"The question is what do we do now. We are there, no matter what you think of how we got there." - Joe Lieberman, 10/8/06

On Having a Plan

"It is a plan that will end the war and serve the cause of peace." - Richard Nixon, 11/3/69

"I recently, again, issued a 10 point plan to get the job done [in Iraq]." - Joe Lieberman, 10/18/06

On Refusing a Timetable

"A fixed timetable for our withdrawal would completely remove any incentive for the enemy to negotiate an agreement. They would simply wait until our forces had withdrawn and then move in." - Richard Nixon, 11/3/69

"If you tell your enemy when you're going to leave, they'll wait and create disaster." - Joe Lieberman, 7/6/06

On Those Opposed to the War

"I would be untrue to my oath of office if I allowed the [war] policy of this nation to be dictated by the minority who hold that [anti-war] point of view and who try to impose it on the nation." - Richard Nixon, 1969

"There is a real but unfortunately too often overlooked or concealed bipartisan American consensus in favor of this new war." - Joe Lieberman, 4/26/04

On Respecting Disagreement

"I understand why they are concerned, about this war. I respect your idealism. I share your concern for peace." - Richard Nixon, 1969

"I already know that some of you feel passionately against my position on Iraq. I respect your views." - Joe Lieberman, 8/7/06
