Whew! Moveon.org must be relieved!
These are the comments of Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D - he is, CT) from a Sunday talk show:
"I think we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq. And to me, that would include a strike over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers . . . We've said so publicly that the Iranians have a base in Iran at which they are training Iraqis who are coming in and killing Americans. By some estimates, they have killed as many as 200 American soldiers. Well, we can tell them we want them to stop that. But if there's any hope of the Iranians living according to the international rule of law and stopping, for instance, their nuclear weapons development, we can't just talk to them . . . If they don't play by the rules, we've got to use our force, and to me, that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they're doing."
Sen. Lieberman said much of the action could probably be done by air but that he would defer to military leadership. "I want to make clear I'm not talking about a massive ground invasion of Iran," Sen. Lieberman said.
"They can't believe that they have immunity for training and equipping people to come in and kill Americans. We cannot let them get away with it. If we do, they'll take that as a sign of weakness on our part and we will pay for it in Iraq and throughout the region and ultimately right here at home," he said.
From the Moveon.org perspective, if not for people keeping Vice President Al Gore from stealing the 2000 Presidential election, Sen. Lieberman could be the incumbant Vice President today with an inside track on the Democratic Party's nomination in 2008. Whew!, say they!
Or, from my perspective, there are at least two Democrats serious about protecting American lives: Sen. Biden (D, DE) and Sen. Lieberman. Truly, I didn't think their numbers would be that high but I'm thrilled that if there are only two that they are United States Senators.
I've written it before: Rep. Dennis Kucinich could be elected President and his national security team would tell him that he could not quit in Iraq. Hopefully I don't have to remind anyone after January 20, 2009 that I wrote this today (for those not following along: I'd only have to remind you if a Dem-agogue is elected President in November 2008).

Zackass; Leiberman is a independent not a Democrat.
Anonymous,
I don't need any help making my points. So have it your way, I was right (again!), two did seem too high a number of Democrats who are serious about protecting Americans.
ZR, you are amusing. Still enjoying your blog, I check it every day. Love your insights!
