Senator Lieberman's Statement
on Majority Leader Reid's Comment that the Iraq War is
"Lost"
> > 'WASHINGTON - Senator Joe Lieberman (ID-CT) today made
the following statement in response to Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid's comment that the Iraq War is "lost:"
> > "This week witnessed horrific terrorist attacks by
Islamist extremists in Iraq, killing hundreds of innocent civilians
and leading Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to declare that the
war is 'lost.' With all due respect, I strongly disagree. Senator
Reid's statement is not based on military facts on the ground in
Iraq and does not advance our cause there.
> > Al Qaeda's strategy for victory in Iraq is clear. They
are trying to murder as many innocent civilians as possible in an
effort to reignite sectarian fighting and drive us to retreat from
Iraq. The question now before us is whether we respond to these
terrorist attacks by running away as Al Qaeda hopes - abandoning
the future of Iraq, the Middle East, and ultimately our own
security to the very same people responsible for this week's
atrocities - or whether we stand united to fight them. This is
exactly the wrong time to conclude that we have lost the war in
Iraq, or that our new strategy has failed.
> > Instead, we should provide General Petraeus and his
troops with the time and the resources to succeed. We should not
surrender in the face of barbarism."

> > "With all due respect, I strongly disagree" -Lieberman

> > With all due respect? Why do they always say
that? This maggot Harry Reid is not due any
respect. None!
> > Him, Pelosi, _________- add the name of your least
favorite treasonous traitor here, would rather shampoo the crotches
of terrorists and their sponsors than show any sort of loyalty and
support for the US and our troops.

> > A Republican can't fart without some screeching spitting
moonbat calling for their resignation, but these disgraceful pigs
can commit treason and seem to be getting away with it.

> > These people are an absolute stain on our country.
