Lieberman: US will be attacked in 2009
Mon, 30 Jun 2008 01:43:50

Senator Joe Lieberman



US senator Joe Lieberman says the United States would come under attack during the first year of the country's new president.

"Our enemies will test the new president early," Lieberman said in an interview with CBS news. "Remember that the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened in the first year of the Clinton administration. 9/11 happened in the first year of the Bush administration."

Lieberman also praised likely Republican nominee John McCain, saying the Arizona senator is determined to counter any possible attacks as the next US president.

"John McCain is ready to take the reins on January 20, 2009. He doesn't need any training," he said. "He's been tested. He's ready to protect the security of the American people."

Lieberman's recent remarks are viewed by many as a means to create fear and panic among American citizens, thus suggesting the notion that the US would need a war veteran as the head of state to protect the nation.

Lieberman, who endorsed McCain in early February, believes the 71-year-old Arizona senator is the only candidate who 'will bear any burden, pay any price to assure the survival and sustenance of liberty'.

What exactly makes him a scumbag, Hedgehog?


Sponge: I don't see how Lieberman's comments make him a scumbag. Crossing party lines doesn't seem that horrible to me and actually seems more of a positive than anything. I don't necessarily agree with a lot of his views, but I think "scumbag" is unwarranted.

All he is doing is fear mongering in my opinion. I think its despicable. He is now telling everyone how McCain is ready for a terrorist act when it was Lieberman who had to correct McCain over and over again about who are real enemies are. Plus the fact that he played a power play in Uconn when he got defeated fair and sqaure which took another vote away from getting these kids home for good. Trust me if Kerry loses in his primary and then runs as an independent i will feel the same way about him. Lieberman will always put Israel first before his very own country.

As far as McCain "being ready" what has he done, other than back the mistake of going into Iraq, that makes McCain more ready than anybody else?

Didnt he cross lines to run as a independent cause he was voted out as a democrat?:shrug:

Of course he was. He's a loser that needed to take on a new mantra just to try to keep his position. Most would accept what the people decided and move on - some have to take extreme measures just to stay in a position of privilege.

unless you can show me different he or any other politician have the right to run for election on a different party ticket....and btw there have been others who did the same thing...

 

[AR182]

Didnt he cross lines to run as a independent cause he was voted out as a democrat?:shrug:

yes...but if you look at his voting history he crossed party lines on a few issues...which got him in trouble with some voters...

So, its cool for Jim Jeffords, but not cool for Lieberman. Makes sense to me:shrug:

By narrow margin--

With 98 percent of Connecticut?s precincts reporting, Mr. Lamont held 51.8 percent of the vote, with Mr. Lieberman holding 48.2 percent.


Mr. Lamont, a cable television executive, made a last-minute push for votes in Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford, three cities where he is counting on a strong vote. Among the 697,000 Democrats who are registered to vote in the primary, Mr. Lamont has particularly targeted African-Americans, disaffected union members, antiwar Democrats, and liberals as crucial blocs, his advisers say.

Im talking about his fear mongering tactic but why should i be surprised it turned into jumping party lines and straight over the neocon thinkers heads.

 

[Chadman]

AR, I agree somewhat, although I do think it's suspect for any politician (and especially in this case) to switch party affiliations immediately after losing the vote. I don't care what party they are/were representing.

And I see what really bothers Wayne about his narrow loss - the person who defeated him was popular with the black folks...

The more things change, the more they stay the same, until they change...:sadwave:

Try not to disturb Wayne. I heard he is resting comfortably so he doesn't miss any of the wimbledon finals between the Williams sisters.

Is a neocon a socially liberal, fiscally conservative individual who is interested in the reduction of

foreign aid, while feverishly advocating a comprehensive energy reform strategy that

includes drilling and refining more now, while simultaneously advancing alternative fuel studies

and expanding our nuclear program?
