Joe Lieberman is a curious little man. He professes a love for America and Israel, yet his basic liberalism seems to have blinded him to the danger of Islamic terrorism.
Tuesday the Democrat Connecticut Senator displayed his naivety when he told an interviewer, “I’d like to see us take a side. I don’t think it’s enough … for us to say Assad should go, Assad’s a dictator … We have a moral responsibility and a strategic opportunity to do more than what we’re doing there [ in Syria].”
Okay this is standard liberal drivel, but what he says next is just plain stupid and dangerous. “So what would I do?” Lieberman answered his own question with, “I’d embrace the cause of the opposition to Assad; I’d begin to work with them closely. I’d give them weapons — that’s the key.”
Hear that? A Democrat jackass wants to arm the Muslim Brotherhood with the latest American weapons. Despite being a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Lieberman must not be aware of who is on which side in the Syrian “Civil War” – which of course is an invasion not a Civil War.
Why Joe Lieberman can’t see the parallels between what happened in Libya and what is happening in Syria is a mystery only he can explain, but someone should demand that he does.
Lieberman also suggested that it would be fine with him to use American air power to counter Assad’s air attacks “on his own people.”
Had Senator Lieberman bothered to check, he would know that the London Telegraph is reporting that the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood is supplying the “rebels” with arms. Moreover a deputy leader of the Muslim Brotherhood vows to make Syria an Islamic state ruled by Sharia law…..

Lieberman is a Rakshasa!
They want us to roll over and play dead. Let me ask.....During WWII, how did we tell a good German from a bad German? How did we tell good Japanese from bad Japanese? Today, how do we tell a good Islamist from a bad Islamist? The answer.....we don’t. Run them all out of the country and only let in the ones that have been totally vetted. People are tired of the BS and something has to be done. NOW!
We can hope that Lieberman meant he wanted contacts and influence with the Syrian rebels so that we could help choose the best of a bad lot to lead Syria after the revolution succeeds. That’s not what he said, and for once I’m not impressed with his foreign policy insight.
The social liberal in Lieberman rears its ugly head again
A Confused man who does not know where bleeding hearts end and cattle cars begin.
Unfortunately, since then, a number of rules (I think they’re called the “Geneva Conventions on the laws of land warfare” or something like that) have been made that effectively prevent any nation attempting to abide by them (like the US) from willing wars.
I do not like joe and I have never liked joe and I will never will like joe... joe... hannity’s good friend.

I think the time has come to back out of all these agreements and fix our own country. The Geneva Convention is being used against us today and does nothing for our country. Hell, other countries don’t abide by the convention anyway.
lieberman’s head is so far stuck up mccain’s butt he is oxygen deprived and his brain has shut down.
and mcvain’s head is crammed up grahamesty’s butt. not a pretty visual.
