Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, who said Sunday that he hoped President Bush "wouldn't abide by" any congressional decision to cut off funding for new Iraqi troops, clarified his view Monday by saying that if such a law were adopted, the president should go along with it.

"I believe it would be a dangerous mistake to cut off funds to our troops while they are fighting to achieve their mission," Lieberman, an independent, said in a statement Monday. "I strongly support the President's new strategy for success and hope he will resist a cutoff of funds, including a veto of legislation that might be passed blocking funding to implement that strategy."

"However, if a law was adopted blocking funding over his veto objection, which I hope and believe will not happen - of course, the President would be obligated to comply with it," he said.

"New strategy for success"?? He's not angling for a cabinet post. He wants Rove's job.
