From yesterday on CNN's The Situation Room. Not quite as good as the smackdown by Ware of John McCain's witless comments earlier this week as Lieberman tempers his comments far more than he usually does, merely referring to Ware's "gloomy assessment" of the situation in Iraq. Ware has only been in Iraq for four years while Joe Lieberman has eyed the situation far more closely, with a critical eye, from the frontlines of the Green Zone, sipping his mint julips while being briefed--and then later ignoring those briefings.
Lieberman: So, I - I don't - I can't directly dispute Michael Ware's overall picture, but I'll tell you most significantly, the American soldier is more confident walking the streets of Baghdad today. And that's a very important change.
