He Knows No Shame

With even some of its most ardent proponents telling us that Bush's ~~Nixonian escalation~~ "surge" in Iraq will result in an immediate upswing in U.S. casualties, Joe Lieberman is saying, "Oh what the heck. Let us have some fun. What's the worst that could happen? A few more thousand dead? BFD. None of them will be my kids."

Over the weekend, I caught a snippet of CSPAN's coverage of the McCain/Lieberman "surge" party at the American Enterprise Institute. . . .Lieberman was praising Bush as a "great leader" for bucking American opinion, as expressed in the 2006 election, in his determination to double down in Iraq. Lieberman then said something incredible:
Even those opposed to the surge, he said, "ought to at least let us try it."
"The worst that could happen," he continued, is that this policy could become another partisan flashpoint in Washington.

The man's callous disregard for the price other people's families will have to pay for his warmongering leaves me gobsmacked. Anyone else want to have a go?

You want callous? (0.00 / 0)

This sums up my feelings. You can almost substitute Lieberman and McCain at this point.

No, not callous... (0.00 / 0)

Just disturbingly realistic. I have no clue as to where or when Joe Lieberman lost his regard for spiritual values,(if he ever had any), especially with regard to human life. Be it Arab, Jew, Christian, Atheist...warm or cold..... he has a taste for spilled blood, and it is now insatiable.

Mindless, wanton destruction. The worst kind of soul-less fearmongering.
Just dreadful. He's used the citizens of Connecticut in the worst way, with no repercussions in sight. Time for impeachment, IMHO. (It CAN be done).

Isn't it telling (0.00 / 0)

That just a few months ago when Joe Lieberman was talking about the 2 Israelis Soldiers who were "kidnapped" he spoke as if he was tortured yet he freely admits his "surge" strategy is going to mean a big increase in American kids dead and it doesn't seem to bother him even a little.
