Joe Lieberman's warmongering continues as he jumps on the bomb Iran bandwagon. Is anyone surprised?
Download via CBS: I think we have to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq,” Lieberman said. Host Bob Schieffer followed-up: “Let’s just stop right there. Because I think you probably made some news here, Senator Lieberman. You’re saying that if the Iranians don’t let up, that the United States should take military action?” “I am,” Lieberman responded.
Lieberman added that “if there’s any hope” of stopping Iran’s nuclear program, “we can’t just talk to them. … We’ve got to use our force and to me that would include taking military action.
The Neocon cabal is alive and well inside the White House and supported by the <Independent> Lieberman. It doesn't matter that Joe has been wrong on everything dealing with the Iraq war and now possibly a new one...Our soldiers are too afraid to give him the truth in Iraq as we already know. Joe also hints that we'll be threatened at home by Iran...
The Senator said he was not calling for an end to the limited diplomatic efforts that are underway between Washington and Tehran.
"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," Lieberman said. "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."
If the U.S. does not act against Iran, "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," Lieberman said.
