Joe,

the surge hasn't worked!! Why don't you fess up and tell americans about their hard earned tax dollars ending up in Al-Sadr's (and the likes) pockets? The surge was implemented to get the Iraqi government up and running... and it hasn't! They still have too many issues between the different sects. The sunni's and Shi-ites are still banging heads... not to mention the issues with the Kurds.

DC politics at it's best! Lie-berman won't mention the US funding because he's a Arab war-monger. Once we quit paying Al-Sadr and Sistani... all hell will break loose again, regardless of the number of troops on the ground.

This is pretty interesting. A good military commander fights the next war, not the last one--and McCain is clipping the Bush playbook and fighting the last campaign. What's clear is that Obama is fighting the next campaign and the past tactics aren't really working out so well. It's a commentary on McCain's ability to be the next commander in chief vs Obama's ability to be the next commander in chief. (hint: McCain is not growing into his next job while Obama is already there...)

Joe Lieberman is about as big of a hypocrite as there is in Washington. Obama's stances are actually closer to Lieberman's *current* views than Lieberman's current views were to Al Gore's back in 2000. Obama is, in fact, *far* more conservative, including in matters abroad, than Gore ever was.

I find it disgusting that this power-hungry fool is treated like a post-partisan. He's only ever been interested in accumulating as much power as he can possibly muster. How else could he have agreed to be on Al Gore's ticket, then end up where he is today?

No way his state lets him have another Senate term. He is in the history books as far as politics go.

Nicholas: Minnesota — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 21:10:32 GMT

" ...and said Obama’s foreign policy plan “troubles” and “confuses” him."
--First, of all, those are two different things. How can it trouble him if he cannot understand it to begin with? Clearly, that contradiction confuses me.
--Second, if he is confused by Barack Obama's foreign policy, then I worry about him holding office and being an advocate for a different (and troubling) McCain policy. I'm saying that it's legitimate to be "troubled" but to be "confused" is a whole other can of worms. If something so straightforward and opposite from McCain's long-standing committment in Iraq policy confuses Sen. Lieberman, then the McCain campaign has bigger fish to fry.

I think someone needs to ask Lieberman what makes him independent other than he couldn't win the democratic primary in his state. Just saying you're independent doesn't make you independent. I wonder if he will run for re-election as a republican or "independent"?

JOe Lieberman is a traitor to the Democratic Party. Lieberman has a lot of nerve standing next to McSame and supporting every outdated senile opinion that comes out of his mouth while holding Democratic seats on they many committee's he holds in Washington. Move-On.org and other Democratic organizations are going to put intense pressure on the Democratic majority party leaders in the fall to strip Lieberman of his Senate seats. If Lieberman wants to be a Republican spokesperson - we in the Democratic party are more than willing to let him go to the minority side - minus his Senate committee seats of course.

Sen. Lieberman is so full of himself, why doesn't he just change party, why hang on to a symbol of what he ISN'T - INDEPENDENT. He should be thankful that he has this election available to him in order to periodically make the news cycle.

He is a sad representation of what happens to politicians who overstay there relevance in the public limelight. I guess since he has nothing of substance to say, if he comments on what Obama says or does in his own mind he becomes a Washington pundit.

He definitely serves to accentuate the muddled, confused and outdated McCain campaign.

-------------------------------------------
It has more to do with the greed of OPEC and the Middle east. The presidents of Shell, Citco, etc are reaping profits because of the refining capability, not the cost of oil (they are the ones directly buying the oil)
I don't have a problem with you claiming greed, but atleast understand who is actually being greedy (Middle East Leaders)
John, MI (Sent Tuesday, July 15, 2008 9:45 AM)"

Point taken, John. However, I think there's enough greed to go around. I may have left some out, but I don't believe that the CEOs are blameless. As I recall, they were on the Hill defending their multi-billion dollar profits.

“What Sen. Obama does not seem to understand is that, had we taken the course he had counseled and retreated from Iraq, the United States would have suffered a catastrophic defeat that would have left America and our allies less safe not just in Baghdad, but in Kandahar and Karachi and Tokyo and London,” Lieberman said.
______________________________________________

Someone should ask Mr. Lieberman to define what would make a victory in Iraq. He's completely making things up and is essentially pulling the Republican fear-mongering card. "If we had listened to Sen. Obama, the whole world would be less safe! Vote for Obama and you'll die!"

These guys are clowns.

I relish the thought of a President Obama who is actually capable of thinking and making sound decisions based on facts and reason. I hope Sen. Lieberman loses his reelection bid as well.

Senator Lieberman:

If "The surge is working", then how exactly do you explain the latest deaths in the Diyala province and Mosul? Apparently, the money that our government is paying various Iraqi groups to "play nice" isn't enough to keep the violence down.

And, Senator, attempting to link the London bombing to Iraq is despicable. You and your GOP "friends" overplayed that hand long ago.

As a native nutmegger, I am extremely disappointed in Sen. Leiberman's policy shifts in the past few years. He was on the ticket with Gore just eight years ago, and now he has endorsed McCain and sided with Bush on every major issue. All this and he still wants to be in the caucus.
Also, he surge has done nothing to advance the Iraqis in political independence, which was the whole point of the surge in the first place. Also, Sen. Obama has not changed his policy on Iraq. He has always wanted to bring our troops out of Iraq and has always said his plan would be open for revisions.
Senator Leiberman, you should do the whole country a favor and just declare yourself a republican, because that is what you are.

Oh, now McCain has Liberman speaking for him for fear that McCain will make some additional stupid blunders or comments. But picking Liberman to speak for you is a stupid blunder in itself is it not? Read his lips Liberman. Obama said 16 months. Troops out of Iraq in 16 months. There is nothing confusing about that.

And who cares what Joe Lieberman has to say. Where is his legitimacy as a spokesperson concerning intelligent and rational thinking. He speaks of defeat when he nor McCain can define victory. Oh, was not victory claimed months ago by their leader GWB. Any progress the surge may have made (and that is debatable)is temporary. Any idiot would know that various factions in Iraq including Al Sadr are simply biding their time to take control. In fact, Afghanistan and Pakistan are a waste of time as well. If either of these candidates want to hunt down and kill Bin Laden fine by me. He deserves to be eliminated. But history will tell you, including recent history, unless the people in these areas want to change their own way of thinking and dealing with their own internally, and with the rest of the world, you cannot win a war in Iraq, Afhganistan or Pakistan. We have neither the resources nor the ability to conquer and nation build across the entire middle east. Unless the American people have the desire to totally destroy these countrys with its nuclear capability and the people living in them then it is time to come home from Iraq and Afhganistan.
