Reply #4: Lieberman was known primarily as a champion of social liberal causes

[Gman]

Remember that this was pre-911. Lieberman didn't do and say the things he does now because we were at peace at that time and a very solid peace. It likely that 9/11 may not have even happened if Gore had been inaugurated in which case all of this would be moot. Even if 911 did happen, we would only have gone into Afghanistan and we would have taken out OBL at Tora Bora instead of letting him get away... lots of things would be different.
