Lieberman: U.S. May Be Attacked In 2009

[dkf]

(CBS) In describing the reasons he believes the Republicans' presumptive nominee for president would be better prepared than the Democrats' to lead the nation next January, Sen. Joe Lieberman said that history shows the United States would likely face a terrorist attack in 2009.

"Our enemies will test the new president early," Lieberman, I-Conn., told Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer. "Remember that the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened in the first year of the Clinton administration. 9/11 happened in the first year of the Bush administration."

Lieberman nonetheless distanced himself from remarks by McCain chief strategist Charlie Black, who came under criticism for suggesting in an interview that McCain's election chances would be improved if a terrorist attack occurred before November.

"Sometimes even the best of them say things that are not what they intended to say," Lieberman said. "Certainly the implications there I know were not what Charlie intended. And he apologized for it. Senator McCain said he didn't agree. And, of course, I feel the same way.

"But here's the point. We're in a war against Islamist extremists who attacked us on 9/11. They've been trying to attack us in many, many ways since then."

===Can we get rid of this asshole please? Doesn't CT have recall or anything?

1. The only attack on Americans in 2009 would be from a McCain administration.

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Everytime holyJoe opens his mouth it is a terror attack on my ears! Shut up, Joe! NT

[Arkana]

3. Joe Lieberman is pond scum.

Why anyone would believe anything that dribbles out of his rotting piehole is a mystery to me.

[Kierkegaard]

4. This tepid, festering bag of yak vomit ought to shut his pie hole

and crawl back under the rock he slithered out from under. Who the hell cares what he thinks or says??

[WHEN CRABS ROAR]

5. There goes the fear card. Seems to be a big part of Republican

thought or lack of it.

[Faygo Kid]

6. Joe Lieberman attacks America every time he opens his mouth.

Wait till he becomes Zell Miller at the GOP convention this summer.

He has no redeeming qualities. After November, the Dems had better strip him of every bit of power he has. Asshole.

[FrenchieCat]

7. Already!

and silly me thought that they would wait till like....October for this garbage.

Wes Clark saying that McCain is untried and untested must have made Traitorman mad or something.

[dkf]

11. If McCain used that as a reason to obliterate Iran, I'm sure Lieberman would be quite satisfied.

Which is why he needs McCain to be President...

[Barack_America]

19. The terra card being played this early can only mean one thing...

The McCain campaign = :nuke:

[Eurobabe]

8. And how does JoeMentum know this?

Inside info? :shrug:

[JVS]

9. I'll see him that and raise him an anywhere could be attacked at any time

[opihimoimoi]

10. Is this ALL they have?? Damn...Classless Joe telling us there MIGHT be an ATTACK??

and that McSame would be better able to handle the AFTERMATH? WTF is THAT?

get the HOOK...get Joe outta there....

[speedoo]

12. Joeblivion is a despicable fuck.

Whose political career will come to an end when Obama and several new Dem senators are elected.

Which is why he is desperately shilling for McSame.

[Cha]

15. joeblivion!

joebloviator.

[stray cat]

13. It doens't take a genius to know attacks can come anytime

[loves_dulcinea]

14. apparantly the idiot has a crystal ball. n/t

[JaneQPublic]

17. Wish he had warned us about 9/11 if he can foresee the future so well (nt)

[ccharles000]

16. asswipe

[Barack_America]

18. Does anyone still listen to this ass?

If so, why?

[Arugula Latte]

20. I hope Joe Lieberman fatally chokes on his own BS.

[ericgtr]

21. This prick is just as bad as any terrorist

Can't someone just kick his sorry little ass out of the party?

[SOS]

22. He picks two attacks, on the same buildings as evidence for his theory?

Beirut Marine barracks in October 1983
The Berlin disco bombing in April 1987
Pan Am 103 in December 1988
Khobar Towers attack June 1996
East African Embassy bombings in August 1998
USS Cole in October 2000

They attack when they can.
They don't give a damn who the President is.

Using terrorism for political gain is really disgusting.

[bridgit]

23. That's just plain stupid, there's plenty of 2008 yet to go...

Lieberman------------>:crazy:

[Eric Condon]

24. I love how the GOP trots out discredited, ultra-RW ex-Dems at their convention

and think it somehow shows some sort of "moderate appeal." As if Democrats watching at home are going to think "Wow, the GOP reached across the aisle to have progressive stalwarts like Zell Miller and Joe Freeperman speak at their convention - I guess I'll vote Republican this year!"

Newsflash, Rethugs - Democrats and Independents aren't going to be impressed that you got this walking piss stain to speak at your little dog and pony show, because even the most moderate Democrats know that this clown is a two-bit neo-con hack who doesn't have a shred of credibility with anyone other than the RW wackos who were going to vote Rethug anyway. So go ahead, have morons like him and Zell speak at your convention, and watch us give a shit.

During his speech, they should have a message flash on the screen that says "What, you thought we couldn't find a more boring, uninspiring speaker than McCrazed to put you all to sleep with his interminable neo-con blatherings? Well, guess again."

[davidpdx]

25. He uses the terror card and then says that people that do

are misunderstood. Oh, that's just brilliant. What a dumbfuck!

[Hope And Change]

26. Here comes the fearmongering....

[Political Heretic]

27. When I first read that I read "Lieberman may be attacked in 2009"

I like that headline better. :)
