GOP senators, Lieberman press for Iraq hearing

[jaxx]

<..> In a letter to Chairman Carl Levin on Wednesday, the lawmakers said the complete withdrawal of American troops likely will be seen as a "strategic victory by our enemies in the Middle East," especially Iran. They said military commanders have told them of the need for a U.S. presence in Iraq beyond this year. They asked for a hearing with administration officials.

Signing the letter was the panel's top Republican, Sen. John McCain, 10 other Republicans and independent Joe Lieberman.

Must be all those voter paid for trips to Iraq used to undermine the US policies that got them the information!

One more year of Lieberman, I hope the country can survive it.

Fuck Lieberman and fuck the Republicans.

[Cha]

I hate Joe Liebermann. There I said it.

[There Is No Spoon]

Bloodthirsty hegemonic criminals.

[Still a Democrat]

Let the GOP run on prolonging the Iraq war.

So let me get this straight....

The GOP has loudly and frequently "reminded" the nation that even GWB had an exit plan for complete troop withdrawal from Iraq, and in fact would have done it sooner than Obama has.

Yet now, they want no troop withdrawal at all. Most likely because a Black Democratic president is bringing the troops home.

Oh, and before I forget, have I told everyone recently how much I despise that motherfucking asshole Joe Lieberman?

So Joe's interests generally align with those of a particular ally in the region. How does he get away with that? Imagine if a Senator went out of his way to favor policies of Japan or Armenia or Finland based almost entirely on their genetic ties to said country? I think it's not unreasonable to question his loyalty to his country.
