Here is a rational, thoughtful view of the situation in Iraq from a senator who has visited several times, unlike the bullshit political rhetoric we hear from the likes of Kerry, Pelosi, Dean and other Democrat leaders.
I have always deeply respected Joe Lieberman for his positions on the issues. He is a true American, first, and a Democrat second. He deserves to be re-elected to the Senate. I intend to support him financially. Listen to him. He gets it.
Here's why I have tremendous respect for him:
"...It is a war between 27 million and 10,000; 27 million Iraqis who want to live lives of freedom, opportunity, and prosperity and roughly 10,000 terrorists who are either Saddam revengists,” Iraqi Islamic extremists, or al-Qaeda foreign fighters, and know their wretched causes will be set back if Iraq becomes free and modern. They are intent on stopping this by instigating a civil war that will produce the chaos that will allow Iraq to replace Afghanistan as the base for their fanatical war-making in the Islamic world. We are fighting on the side of the 27 million because the outcome of this war is critically important to the security and freedom of America. If the terrorists win, they will be emboldened to strike us directly again and to further undermine the growing stability and progress in the Middle East, which has long been a major American national and economic security priority...
The full piece in the WSJ.
Why hasn't the MSM picked up on his views rather than on the 'get out now proponents?' If there ever was a spotlight on the liberal, Democratic, left-leaning media bias, it's now. Pay attention, people, so as not to be led by the liberal bias of of most MSM.
Stay the course, Joe. You're right!!
