Lieberman Wants to Attack Iran [VIDEO]

On Sunday's episode of Face The Nation, Sen. Joe Lieberman continues to show how insane he is by pushing for War with Iran.

If you thought Joe Lieberman's war mongering stopped with Iraq, you'll find yourself sadly mistaken when you see the video to your right. Over and over again Lieberman shows why the Republicans nationally and in Connecticut decided it would be shrewd to back his candidacy in 2006 instead of throwing their support behind one of their own. He is a passionate spokesman for the Cheney agenda. I doubt many of the voters will take him seriously though anymore, as a bipartisan voice or as a voice on the War, mainly because he's been wrong about almost everything.

Digg!

Lieberman, like most members of the Congress and all present candidates for President, is loyal to Israel and puts its interests above all others.

Israel feels threatened? War with Iran is inevitable.

Before Bush leaves office he will bomb Iran. There is no doubt in my mind that this will happen. If Israel wants it done the U.S. will make it happen.

This fucking country is out of control.

... as we all know.. expanding conflicts and starting war after war after war has worked out SO well for our security so far.

Bomb Iran? Ok.. what then? That would unquestionably start a war. A war we simply do not have the man power to fight... and the economic burden would when coupled with our current record level of debt break this nation without any question whatsoever in the near future. If we go to war with Iran as well, be prepared for this nation to dissolve in the next 50 years or so... if we survive even that long.

Foreign policy in this nation has come to look more and more like an idiot who doesn't know how to play cards doubling down time after time after time losing hand after hand after hand because he simply doesn't understand that he can't even play the game to begin with.

Well, we all knew that this would be coming, though I expected an idiot like Cheney to be publically pushing this rather than a sorry old blow-hard like Lieberman. Is he (again) doing the bidding of Cheney-Bush now? Or is he just so unhappy with is non compus mentus status in the senate that he needs something for us all to remember him by? Poor Joe, if you can't get them to remember you for all your good works in helping out your "poor" insurance industry buddies, try bombing some other country - for sure they will remember you then.

Beyond Censure, Recall, Impeachment!

What assininity! Another fucking old fart who wants to widen the war in the Middle East. Air attacks on Iran? Hundreds of additional collateral civilian deaths. Incite the Iranians to flay out.

This is Cheney's new mouth organ. Squeeze Cheney and watch Lieberman puke war. And the old fart interviewing him hasn't the guts to ask this asshole about the bestial stupidity of this action.

What the hell is happening in Washington? Is there some kind of swampland infection they've come down with? None of the bastards think they ever will be held accountable for the crap that has been coming out of their mouths!

All this has gone way beyond censure, recall, and impeachment! What do you think we are left with?

Lieberman of Israel

Lieberman is the Senator from Israel and gets his information directly from AIPAC and the MEC (formerly a terrorist organization) now big friends of Cheney/Bush/Lieberman. MEC is very similar to the Iraqi exiles who sold Bush/Cheney on the faulty information to go to war on Iraq.
If this country attacks another country with the majoriity of its citizens under the age of 25, and who really like the American people, but not the government, then the US deserves whatever happens to it including, but not limited to , elimination.

Zionism like Amerikanism morphs into fascism: Sieg Heil Lieberman

Current rating: 4    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
If you ever needed a demonstration of the failure of ideology and history, we have many avenues to choose from. First of all, let me remind those people who want Al Gore to run for President, that this class liberal, appeasing class whore, picked this Nazi Jew, Zionist pig, who reflects the same ideology of most of the liberal war hawks, who voted to give Bush, 100 democrats, the right to nuke Iran, proof that both class parties, both class ideologies, participates in this corrupt class nationalism and class Empire.

Yes, it is all about class....and those liberals who keep denying this class, rotten link, between oligarchy, corporate fascism, and the corrupted middle layers, class elites, have yet to explain how it is that an opposition party, can capitulate to this fascism and imperial Empire. Lieberman, relfects this corrupt middle class whoring, class elites, both liberals and neocon nazis, who will capitulate to this fascism, just as the class social democrats, appeased Hitler, and former Marxists, voted to go to war for the class nationalists, during World War I. World War II just demonstrated just how corrupt the middle class whores have become. Liebermann has learned nothing from the Holocaust of fascism, except to embrace this fascism, zionism, class nationalism, corporate, national whoring for both Amerika and Israel. The democrats are whores for voting to give Zionists, liberal appeasing fascists, the right to carry out nuclear aggression against Iran. We need a revolution and put these criminals behind bars. There is no difference between the class whore, Lieberaman, and class thug Cheney, or Norman Podhoretz, they are all nazis.

Either we go after these criminals or these criminals will start a nuclear war, and Holocaust, transforming "Never again" to the fascist ideology of class: "EVer again"......Pigs all of them.

TV News about Iran

Folks,
Do you suppose there is a connection between the TV news about Iran sending weapons to Afganistan and Iraq and otherwise supporting those who oppose the US there? Doesn't this sound like what we were fed non-stop prior to the Iraq war? Slightly different theme, same purpose?

The point is, we cannot protect and defend America's true national interests, we cannot even properly identify them, when we cannot trust the administration in charge and the media they influence.

Together, our voices can be louder and more persistent. We haven't scratched the surface of the non-violent and legal means of expression and of impact that are available to us. So get to work.

More war now means we miss the window to slow global warming.

Greengranny
