Following up on his Wall Street Journal article Tuesday defending the Iraq war, Sen. Joseph Lieberman is reminding Bush administration critics that it's wrong to claim that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. attacked in 2003.
"The so-called Duelfer Report, which a lot of people read to say there were no weapons of mass destruction - concluded that Saddam continued to have very low level of chemical and biological programs," Lieberman told ABC Radio host Sean Hannity on Wednesday.
"[Saddam] was trying to break out of the U.N. sanctions by going back into rapid redevelopment of chemical and biological and probably nuclear [weapons]," Lieberman said, calling the Iraqi dictator "a ticking time bomb."
"I have no regrets" that the U.S. toppled Saddam, the former vice presidential candidate explained. "I think we can finish are job there, and as part of it - really transform the Arab-Islamic world."
Lieberman said that his fellow Democrats haven't taken kindly to his decision to buck his party on Iraq. "There's been some grumbling," he told Hannity. "In Connecticut there's a 'Dump Joe' web site that has cropped up."
But Lieberman added, "I've been here long enough where, at this stage in my career, I'm going to do what I think is right."
If the left had more Senator Liebermans, they wouldn't be at the bottom of the morality barrel. I appreciate his stance on the war very much.
A small island of sanity amidst an ocean of despair and desperation.
Joe Lieberman always had credibility, character, and smarts, Its too bad he dumped them to join with Gore, But he sounds now like he realises his mistake.
This is becoming interesting.
There's 5 Hostages about to get a Islamofacist Haircut at their shoulder blades that believe that.
It would be nice if the right had someone like Lieberman who can make speeches without stammering and mangling the language.
Someone who wouldn't wait until his approval ratings are falling through the floor before using the bully pulpit to keep the nation's resolve engaged.
Someone who would discuss the tractor trailer loads of material seen exiting Iraq for Syria before the invasion.
Ah, but who are we kidding?
Well...
I'm developing a position paper on that. I'll get back to you. LMAO
Hehe...
Yeah where is OUR Zell miller and Joe Lieberman?
Trent Lott thinks he wants to be, but he's deluded. Of course there's Newt Gingrich, but socons would rather lose than win with Newt.
Reminds me of the "Gays in the military" stance Sam Nunn (D-Ga.) made after Clinton came into office.
I said then, and mean it today: I'd have voted for Nunn if he ever ran for president, even though I am extremely conservative.
I just like a person who stands up for what is right (too many RINOs won't), especially when it is at great risk/peril to the principled one's interests.
I like Lieberman, but wouldn't vote for him. That whine "We just want to count all the votes," in 2000 was disgusting. But I'm glad he has the best interest of the country in mind when it comes to war.
Joe has almost always been a very stand up guy. Much like Zel.
Notice how his visit and comments were completely buried by the MSM? Pathetic...
Could there be a TROLL in our midst? Hmmmmm,.....
