Reply #101: Joseph Lieberman was the chief sponsor of the Senate version of the IWR [View All]

He doesn't strike me as someone who wants nice diplomatic solutions. He's a neocon and warmonger. The IWR bill had no preconditions and no limits on the President's ability to take action. Lieberman was the criminal for drafting a terrible bill that gave Bush a blank check. Bush was the asshole who lied to America about the various reasons for going to war like Al Qaeda's presence in Iraq, the uranium from Africa, the aluminum tubes, the mushroom cloud, etc. Bush twisted the arms of some in the Senate, who preferred to go to war instead of taking a gamble on Bush being right about the WMD. It Bush's lies had been true, it would have ended many Senate careers. Twenty-three members of the Senate saw through those lies and also realized that they were being asked to sign on to a blank check for war. Bush and Lieberman were the number one criminals. But those who voted in favor of their open-ended bill are complicit as well.
