IDIOT WATCH: Lieberman opposes "politically motivated withdrawal".
WASHINGTON - As the Bush administration ponders a course change in Iraq, Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., on Tuesday continued to blunt calls for an immediate withdrawal, instead promoting the idea of a temporary boost in troop levels there.
At a Senate confirmation hearing for secretary of defense nominee Robert Gates, Lieberman used his allotted 10 minutes of questioning to stress his aversion to what he termed a politically motivated withdrawal.

"While all of us, of course, would like to bring our troops home as soon as possible," Lieberman said, "your primary goal is to advise the president how to succeed in Iraq, not how to withdraw our troops at any and all costs."

3. Damn what the American people want. We will install "democracy" in
Iraq even if every American wants us to leave, and we have to kill every Iraqi.
That's some interesting form of democracy.

The Lieberman for Congress Party's position has now been placed on the table.
Does Joseph have any children he could send over to help the cause?
