Will Lieberman be Bush's leading Dem War Cheerleader Again?
They’re Back: Neocons Revive the Committee on the Present Danger, This Time Against Terrorism
http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0722-14.htm

A bipartisan group of 41 mainly neoconservative foreign-policy hawks has launched the latest incarnation of the Committee on the Present Danger (CPD), whose previous two incarnations mobilized public support for rolling back Soviet-led communism but whose new enemy will be “global terrorism.”

The new group, whose formation was announced at a Capitol Hill press conference July 20, said its “single mission” will be to “advocate policies intended to win the war on global terrorism—terrorism carried out by radical Islamists opposed to freedom and democracy.”

<SNIP>

Woolsey appeared with Senators Joseph Lieberman, a neoconservative Democrat who was former Vice President Al Gore’s running-mate in 2000, and John Kyl, a Republican from Arizona with strong connections to the Christian Right. In a joint column published July 20 in the Washington Post, the two senators argued, “Too many people are insufficiently aware of our enemy’s evil worldwide designs, which include waging jihad against all Americans and reestablishing a totalitarian religious empire in the Middle East.”

At the press conference later, Lieberman said the purpose of the new group was “to form a bipartisan citizens’ army, which is ready to fight a war of ideas against our Islamist terrorist enemies, and to send a clear signal that their strategy to deceive, demoralize and divide America will not succeed.”

The two senators also claimed that the new CPD consists of “citizens of diverse political persuasions,” although the vast majority of the 41 members are well-known neoconservatives who have strongly helped lead the drive to war in Iraq and have long supported broadening President George W. Bush’s “war on terrorism” to include Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia, as well.

Maybe I should ask my senator Joe Lieberman how I can join this "citizen's army". Here's my first donation to this cause

I could of sworn he was laughing when the Puke took the cheap shot. On the other hand, it's much better to see a DEM take the leadership stand when all the Thugs want is to just go home and run their smear campaigns against their local opponants. When Thuglicans take cheap shots like that it only proves that THEY DON NOT GIVE A SHIT WHATS SO EVER ABOUT THE PEOPLE!!!!!

I just read the article.

Sheesh.
Hanging out with Woolsey?

Makes my stomach turn.

On top of that, these guys have been shadow government for some time even mixed up with Carter and Clinton to some degree.
