"We Do Have a Plan" (Iraq - Lieberman)

[Pale Blue Dot]

http://www.courant.com/news/nationworld/hc-iraq1129.artnov29,0,7759941.story?coll=hc-big-headlines-breaking

Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, just back from Iraq, wants President Bush to give the American people details about the progress being made in that country - from military triumphs to the proliferation of cellphones and satellite dishes.

<snip>

But Lieberman, D-Conn., who spent Wednesday and Thursday in Iraq, saw strong evidence that a workable American plan is in place.

"We do have a strategy," he said. "We do have a plan. I saw a strategy that's being implemented."


...

Yah! He's my Senator now! :sarcasm:

[acmavm]

1. Hey Joe, is the plan to let them kill each other until there's no one

left? Or is it for us to bomb them into oblivion until the place is a deserted wasteland? Because those are the only plans I see being 'implemented' there.

[K-W]

47. Very close.

The plan is to kill off enough militants and dissidants so that the US armed and trained neo-colonial regime can more or less control the country.

Although I'm sure in Lieberman's fevered brain this somehow means peace and stability.

[Lost4words]

2. Hey Lieberman, go F* yourself!

change party already. Whining stinking bastard!

[Oceansaway]

4. well said !!

[BlueEyedSon]

10. How do we go about kicking him out of the party?

[bigscott]

12. he is my senator

and I am so proud!:sarcasm: I wish he would switch already

[wordpix]

28. my senator, too--wish his "joementum" would get up and go elsewhere

he is really getting Dems in CT upset with his BushCo apologist rhetoric and a lot of us want him GONE

[depakid]

39. Vore against him then

I'm serious. As long as people like Lieberman are out in front, the Dems are going to keep losing Congressional elections.

Better to have a Republican in his seat- let Joe take a full time job with Fox "news."

[LaurenG]

3. What is WRONG with that man?

I wonder if he's got some hidden thing going or owes bush something? That isn't even a rational statement. BTW, how much time did he spend in the military?

[DontTreadOnMe]

11. Recall in Connecticut?

re: I wonder if he's got some hidden thing going or owes bush something?

Remember the submarine bases in Groton, Ct that they wanted to close?
hmmmm...

as a former Ct. resident -- I am disgusted and embarrassed with this "moderate"... can we recall this guy?

[JerseygirlCT]

45. Unfortunately, it wouldn't work

he's still too popular here.

I don't get it. I don't understand him on this issue. How can someone NOT see this? How can he do this?

I know people who used to work for him. They admired him. They admired his stand on civil rights and the environment -- things that go way back before his senate days.

But what the heck happened? How can he allow himself to be nothing but a tool for the Bush war machine?

[Freddie Stubbs]

50. He is up for reelection next year and

no one, Democrat or Republican, has the gut to challenge such a popular incumbent.

[Lost4words]

52. I always wondered what the pukes found while cleaning up the anthrax

what a great way to get access to all those offices and computers.

By the way have we caught the anthrax mailer yet. No reason, he did his job well for the rePukes.

[Submariner]

15. This is all about Israel wanting a huge U.S. military

presence in the ME, and nothing more for Liebershitz. I can't blame Israel for wanting a big bully presence at their back door, so draft-dodger Liebershitz should just be honest about his intentions for BSing us about Iraq.

[cosmicone]

55. Isn't there anyone in the CT democratic party

who can challenge him in a primary and tie Lieberman with Bush to make him sink? Bush is extremely unpopular and I bet more democrats are unhappy with Lieberman than happy with him. He may not win the primary especially if the challenger is backed by moveon.org

[mmonk]

5. Anyone else see the need to purge

the democratic party of undemocratic people? Sheesh, what's the use. I just need to move to a country with a somewhat honest government and an impartial informative press.

[bowens43]

6. Hey Joe.....

you're a fricking idiot. The only strategy is 'stay the course' .
BTW, unless you have a mouse in your pocket, don't say 'we', you are NOT one of us.

[Mass]

7. There is a plan - Joe is right - the pb is that we dont know the goals

It the goal is to stay forever, may be it is working.
:sarcasm:

[rooboy]

8. DLC slogan for 2005 - "We're not in Kansas anymore" n/t

[mmonk]

14. But they are

[CoffeeCat]

9. What a plan, JOE!!

Yes, Joe--it's so wonderful that more Iraqis have "cell phones" and "satellite dishes." They fear for their lives when they go to the market--but at least they'll have a cell phone when they're blown to bits!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN??????????

He is blatantly propagandizing for this administration--and I want to know why. He came back from Dante's Inferno--and put a flowery glow on it. He lied. I want to know why.

Did Joe act this way before Gore endorsed Kerry?

[Mass]

13. Did he act like that when Gore chose him as VP rather than Kerry or Edward

[Freddie Stubbs]

49. He actually criticized Clinton's behavior in the Lewinski affair

Many speculate that was one of the reasons that Gore chose him.

[leftchick]

16. He is on CNN spewing the garbage

:puke:

[gratuitous]

17. Lieberman stooges for the Bushistas and gets on CNN

Murtha tells it like it is, and CNN puts on a parade of chickenhawks to reassure their audience that Murtha doesn't know what he's talking about.

[moondust]

18. "Senator sees mirage in Iraqi desert"

Whose plan is it, Joe, and why is no one able to articulate what it is?

(I'd recommend an eye exam.)

[Nevernose]

19. Joe keeps talking, but is anyone, anywhere, listening anymore?

Even the airplay he gets on cable TV sounds a lot litke Charlie Brown's teacher, and the talking heads, when they deign to refer to him, mostly just ignore him and keep going. No one I know, left or right, cares in the slightest what he has to say.

Hey, Lieberman: pick an issue and fight for it.

[adigal]

31. Idiot Hannity and his audience are listening

Hannity LOVES Joementum, and he is always having him on, propagandizing to his listeners as to how wrong the Democrats are on everything. Joementum is a tool for the RNC and right wing radio and sites such as free republic - no more, no less.

[second edition]

20. Idiot Lieberman has to defend his position, so he covers his butt

and screws the party. Good thing is, no one actually listens to him anymore. What was Gore thinking when he went with him as VP?

[rodeodance]

21. so--the 'we' have a plan--is the Repug/WH plan???

[AzDar]

22. Lieberman is the root of all evil, imho. If Gore hadn't chosen such

an asshat as his V. P., then the election wouldn't have been close enough to steal. Good God, he's an idiot....

[PunkPop]

25. Worst. VP Choice. Ever.

[Doctor_J]

23. When Joe says "we", who does he mean?

The Repubs? The DLC? He, Hillary, and Schumer?

[PurityOfEssence]

24. Our plan is to secure Israel and control oil

What's the mystery?

[samsingh]

26. the 'we' in lieberman's comment reveals that he is on side

with bush.

why did President Gore ever run with this idiot?

[go west young man]

27. The Democratic Party needs a purging and Joe needs to go!!!!!!!

Getting this Repub shill out should be our top priority. He's always been wishywashy. One of Gores biggest mistakes was picking him as a running mate.

[Freddie Stubbs]

48. He is up for reelection next year

30. Translation: "We're desperately trying to think up SOME reason..."

To be there, and some way to get out that won't make Bush look like the chickenshit bumbler he is."

With any luck, Weicker will clean his clock next year.

[chelsea0011]

32. Joementum....front page NYT today. Death squads alleged. Progress?

[LibDemAlways]

33. Wow, the "proliferation of cellphones!"

Wonder how many have suddenly gone dead when the person speaking on them has been blown to bits on the streets of Baghdad or anywhere else in that country we illegally occupy.

That liplock with the chimp said it all about Holy Joe - a POS Bush Crime Family appeaser - if not member - who ought to go live in Iraq if he thinks it's so great there. I'll even pay for his cellphone and satellite dish.

[rman]

34. cellphones? How about electicity and drinking water?

And freedom for women - of which they had more under Saddam then they have now with this theocracy in Iraq created thanks to US intervention.

[Javaman]

35. Joe, shut the fuck up already, we are all tired of your wanna-be repube...

bullshit.

that man is a failure and a disgrace to the Democratic party.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

36. Get used to it - it sucks

41. I agree. Not a popular truth but AIPAC just shovels

the money at their whores in both parties. I might try a mild counter and give some $$ to the Weicker campaign.

[LeftCoast]

38. Joe must go

I hope Reid comes down on him like a ton of bricks.

[0007]

40. You can say that again! Lieberman and Zell ought to go on the road

with their hatred for the party they represent.

[VegasWolf]

42. Lieberman, "Don't forget Israel!!" . Jerk!

:sarcasm:

[Al-CIAda]

43. It does not matter if the war is not real

"It does not matter if the war is not real, or when it is, victory is not possible. The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continous, the essential act of modern warfare is the destruction of the produce of human labor. A hierarchal society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. The war is waged by the ruling group against its subjects, and its object is not victory, but to keep the very structure of society intact."

-George Orwell,1984

[Kashka-Kat]

44. Well ya, permanent military bases and unending occupation w maybe a

token puppet regime for appearance sake.

[madmark]

46. Leiberman is incoherent; what plan is he talking about?

Is it written down somewhere? Did GB show him a copy that somehow Murtha didn't get to see? Does Lieberman have better information about events in Iraq than Murtha? Better communications with the military? I doubt it. I suspect the real issue is that Leiberman has adopted the PNAC view that taking out Saddam and having US Military in Iraq is good for Israel and will say anything to prolong their presence. Whatever Lieberman's rationale, his view that "we do have a plan" is not only wrong, its not even coherent.

[BiggJawn]

51. Satellite dishes and cellies....

Oh, my thobbing Murkan Pride! So, when the first WAL-MART goes up, that'll be the signal for Il Douche to put on his Kommandur Codpiece suit and strut around on an aircraft carrier in San Fran bay again?

Satellite dishes that bring Al-Jazeera onto homes with the REAL news about all that soul-winning going on, since I just heard today that Iraqi papers have articles "written" by US soldiers that are actually coming from a PR contractor (we don't even manufacture our own bullshit Astroturf any more?)and Cellies to co-ordinate the Resistance.

Hey Joe, how much OIL does it take to keep that "Joementum" moving smooth?

[XNGH]

53. Joe , you're an idiot

Hey Lieberman shut the hell up. Just join the repugs and get it over with you moron

[Charles19]

54. Like they didn't have sat dishes and cell phones before the war(n/t)

[secretmouse]

56. Lieberman

Oh, this guy makes me want to puke!!I couldn't believe it when he was selected as Gore's running mate...this guy has such a conflict of interest, it's not even funny! He's all about protecting Israel!
( and NO, I'm not anti-semitic, I just don't necessarily trust the Israelis..we give them BILLIONS every year, and yet they send people to spy on us...?????)

He was so FOR the war it made me break out in hives..he was virtually salivating at the thought of America going over there and being a big brother presence for Israel.

Let me once again affirm that I have nothing against the Jewish faith, or the average Israeli citizen, but I believe that charity begins at home...and those billion that we send over there could be making a real dent in rebuilding New Orleans

[MisterP]

57. Scene I:

Senator Lieberman performs jumping jacks, in his boxers, before a TV show of his Lord and Master. "Let's Get Physical" plays loudly on the boom box.
Scene II:
President Bush, in powder-blue Care Bare jammies with footsies, performs jumping jacks before a framed print of a banana.

[stepnw1f]

58. Yeah... We Know You Have a Plan

you criminal warmongering fuck!

[leesa]

59. Yes, we know..."kill all Muslims and suck out all the oil". Very creative!

[screembloodymurder]

60. Can Lieberman be recalled?

How do we get this started?
