Lieberman Supports More Troops and Money IN Iraq War

Here we go again Senator Joe Liberman when he won against Ned Lamont said he got the message about the Iraq War and bringing the Troops home.
Well folks Lieberman only got the message to regain your votes to get the Senate seat back and the power that goes with it.
As I have said we are watching Senator Lieberman on what he does and how he votes .

Lieberman supports Bush's Speech to deploy more then 20,000 more Troops into arms way.

This was his comment after President Bush Spoke .

“I applaud the President for rejecting the fatalism of failure and pursuing a new course to achieve success in Iraq. There is no more difficult decision that a President can make than to send our nation’s bravest soldiers and patriots into harm’s way. Yet, no objective is more worthy in defending America’s vital national security interests than aiding a struggling democracy and supporting brave moderates who are in a life and death struggle against totalitarian extremists supported by Al Qaeda and Iran.
Our troops have sacrificed much and now more will be asked of them to defend our nation. They fight in a just, noble and moral cause against the forces of terrorism, and their sacrifices will make America and the world more secure. I want our troops to return home as soon as possible – after we allow, enable and support them in accomplishing their mission in Iraq in finishing this fight.
I know there are deep differences of opinion about what the President has proposed tonight. In the coming days and weeks, we should undertake respectful debate and deliberation over this new plan. But, let us also remember that excessive partisan division and rancor at home only weakens our will to prevail in this war. I am particularly pleased that the President has taken the important and necessary step of creating a bi-partisan Consultative Group consisting of representatives and leaders of the Executive and Legislative branches to address issues related to the war against global terrorism.
At the moment, we and our Iraqi allies are not winning in Iraq and the American people are understandably frustrated by the miscalculations, the lack of progress, and the daily scenes of violence and casualties. But, make no mistake - defeat in Iraq would result in a moral and strategic setback in our global struggle against Islamist extremists who seek to strike our interests and our homeland.
Success is attainable in Iraq, and tonight the President has offered a comprehensive program to chart a new course in both winning the military struggle to establish order and in achieving the political and economic objectives to build a more promising future for Iraqis. However, no progress is possible unless we restore order, particularly in Baghdad.
Tonight, the President did not take the easy path, but he took the correct and courageous course. We are engaged in a world-wide struggle against Islamist extremism, and Iraq is now the central front. It is a dangerous illusion to believe that we can depart Iraq and the inevitable killing fields and terrorist violence will not follow us in retreat - even to our own shores. That is why it is right and imperative that we recommit ourselves to success in Iraq. Weakness only emboldens our enemy, but united resolution will make our nation safer for generations to come.”


These comments above show how little Lieberman listed to the voters during the Mid-Term elections .
So now its time to protest at lieberman Hartford HQ and also get involved with United For Peace and go to Washington D.C. for what is going to be one of the biggest Anti War Rallies and Protests in 2007.
You can find local chapters by following the link SenatorWatch as added http://www.unitedforpeace.org

The failed policy of the Bush administration which Joe Leiberman supports and the Bush War is a good reason find a way to kick Liberman out of office he does not belong there in the first place.
Its time for a change of course in Wshington D.C. and the first change is Impeaching Bush and throwing Lieberman out of the Senate for starters.
Joe Lieberman represents himself and his special interest groups.
Will be watching Joe and what he says and how he votes on issues that affect you the voters of this country .Stay tuned things are just starting to get interesting.
