Lieberman: There Is No Civil War In Iraq (But Even If There Is, We Should Stay)
Speaking on the Senate floor today, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) said his answer is “no, no, no” to the question of whether there should be a redeployment from Iraq.
Lieberman offered a discombobulated explanation for his opposition, stating on the one hand he believes the U.S. military can and should “police a civil war,” while on the other hand stating Iraq is not in a civil war.
Lieberman claimed the “facts” suggest Iraq is not in a civil war. But seconds before, he said, “Why do proponents of withdrawal from Iraq keep insisting that [our] American troops shouldn’t be policing a civil war?
Lieberman repeatedly said that “proponents of withdrawal” claim Iraq is in civil war to suggest that the mission is “hopeless.” Note to Lieberman: It’s not just “proponents of withdrawal” who recognize Iraq is in a civil war; the Pentagon and the intelligence community have declared Iraq a civil war.

Every last one of them needs a reality check, the sooner the better. The only way to deal with all of this is to really deal with what is going on.
McCain said this morning on CNN he never said it was safe to walk in Iraq. Yes after the interviewers gave him the correct information.
SPB it's not Koolaid it's Alzheimer's he's to old now. As for Liebermam it's the lasting KISS that keeps him next to his man the Gerbil.
Yep...Joe loves the Gerbil. He seems to be drinking koolaide out of everybody's cup and has lost touch with reality...
