Can someone seriously tell me why the Democratic leadership cowers to this man when he says outrageous things like this on TV?
Today on Face The Nation Joseph Lieberman had this to say:
Well I will not write about all the crap that he spouted but I will highlight this part:
"Our enemies will test the new president early," Lieberman, I-Conn., told Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer. "Remember that the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened in the first year of the Clinton administration. 9/11 happened in the first year of the Bush administration."<snip>
"Sometimes even the best of them say things that are not what they intended to say," Lieberman said. "Certainly the implications there I know were not what Charlie intended. And he apologized for it. Senator McCain said he didn't agree. And, of course, I feel the same way.
"But here's the point. We're in a war against Islamist extremists who attacked us on 9/11. They've been trying to attack us in many, many ways since then."
So Mr. Lieberman what are you saying that the terrorists will only strike if we elect a Democrat? What if they strike with your bosom buddy in office? Will he able to get off his geriatric chair and do something or will he press the panic button?
So in that scenarion what will he do?
1) Will he invade Iran? Because that is what you want to do. I heard him speaking of al Qaeda losing in Iraq and how Iran is on the back foot but I did not hear one thing about the real threat: The regrouping of al Qaeda and the Taleban in Pakistan. The escalation of violence in Afghanistan and some might even say the loss of Southern Afghanistan to Taleban forces.
2) Will he nuke Pakistan? Because that is where the real threat is and since Pakistan has pretty strong army with nuclear delivery capability how does he plan to handle that?
3) Will he just attack some completely unconcerned country like Syria to prove his bravado?
The problem with blowhards and geriatrics who face softball questions from Bob Schiffer is that they can spout any rot unchallenged.
Now that you have heard our armchair cowboy here is what a Silver Star receiving veteran and Rhodes Scholar sounds like:
