Lieberman Hypocrisy on Criticizing Bush (not sure if dupe)
Via think progress. Quotes from Joementum on questioning Bush over war.

"In our democracy, a president does not rule, he governs. He remains always answerable to us, the people. And right now, the president’s conduct of our foreign policy is giving the country too many reasons to question his leadership. It’s not just about 16 words in a speech, it is about distorting intelligence and diminishing credibility. It’s not about searching for scapegoats; it’s about seeing, as President Kennedy did after the Bay of Pigs, that presidents stand tall when they willingly accept responsibility for mistakes made while they are in charge."

Joe only decides to question Bush when a possible presidential birth is upon him....My how things change. More from think progress.

1. Whatever, Joe.
Watered-down, soft-shelled criticism of Bush from a fellow neocon.

2. Aw - I think he meant that. I think he is just highly conflicted. And des-
perately concerned that Israel Palestine get stabilized.

I'm there too (cause if it doesn't happen soon - we will all be back to fight WWII - and this time with a draft). But I disagree with him how you go about that. I don't think USA hanging inside Iraq will do any good if it goes on and on.
