Update: Lickerman asks if Iraq war should be expanded 'in Iranian territory'

Memo to Connecticut: Recall Joe Six Pack.

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, who is among the Senate's fiercest hawks, blamed Iran for the deaths of "hundreds of American troops," and claimed the US has evidence that Iran is training insurgents outside Tehran before sending them to Iraq. He asked whether the US should expand its invasion into Iran.

"Is it time to give you authority, in pursuit of your mission in Iraq, to pursue those Iranian Quds Force operations in Iranian territory, in order to protect Americas troops in Iraq," Lieberman (I-CT) asked at a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of US troops in Iraq, demurred, but did not shoot down the idea of an expansion into Iran.

"I think that really the Multinational Force Iraq should just focus on Iraq and that any kinds of operations outside the borders of Iraq would rightly be overseen by the Central Command," Petraeus said.

Lickerman should be put in a home for the medically insane. He is all over the map and talking like he's lost his mine. I hope the people of Connecticut wake up and recall him before he hurts himself. That kiss must have been something else he still holding on to his love George w. Bush.
