Broke ranks: We present key items from a report, Top Democrat slams Bush after inspectors find no WMD in Iraq: (emp add) "After a search that has consumed nearly two years and millions of dollars, and a war that has cost thousands of lives, no weapons of mass destruction have been found -- nor has any evidence been uncovered that such weapons were moved to another country," House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.
...
Another senior Democrat in Congress, Joe Lieberman, broke ranks with Pelosi, saying that even though no WMD were found in Iraq, the invasion of Iraq was justified.
"The fact that we didn't discover large stocks of weapons of mass destruction doesn't mean that Saddam Hussein didn't have them," the Connecticut Senator told the Fox television network.
...A Republican senator, Johnny Isakson, appearing with Lieberman on Fox, agreed that the Bush administration made the right decision in overthrowing Saddam, even without hard evidence of WMD. We all to often forget it, but four years ago Lieberman was the Democratic Vice Presidential candidate. Not just any Democratic politician. For him to repeat the thinnist of logical excuses, the kind that Safire regularly peddles, is truly amazing. Oh, and nice touch of appearing on Republican media (Fox). Bush is surely pleased. "There's bipartisan agreement on the WMD issue," is what the president can now say. And major-league bipartisanship. We're talking VP candidate in 2000.

Joe Lieberman, Joe Lieberman... where have I heard that name before? Is that the same Joe Lieberman that has to use a chisel every day to remove the impacted Republican fecal matter from his nose when he gets home in the evening? The one who gave Zell Miller a run for his money in the Turncoat of '04 race? That Joe Lieberman?
Yeah, I thought so. What a fucking tool.
It's too bad the Democratic Party can't excommunicate it's heathen. As long as the party has Liebermans and others like him, how can we take it seriously as an alternative to the right-wing madness?
As long as the Democratic party can be bought, lock, stock, and ballots for a fraction of the cost that Carlyle affiliates pay to buy the Republicans and the cable television news media, we will continue to have leaders such as Joe Loserman.
Yes, Kerry, and his patron Soros, have a much more liberal progessive vision of America. But basically they're just players in the Carlyle game for world domination. More rational and humane than Bu$hCo, but a part of the problem, because the game they're playing is one where the ruthless always win.
Sigh! Democrats don't have a uniform that we can remove the stripes from? I think the Army method is to tear the stripes off, the Navy method is to use a sort of white-out crossing-off on their sleeves. I was told about a ceremony in which an officer's front buttons were removed as a drum was banged slowly.
Ah well, it's like I heard the British saying many years ago about America possibly belonging to a club of former colonies. "It's too bad America doesn't belong to such a club. We could them throw them out of it!"
and to think I liked Lieberman when Al picked him for veep. What an idiot I was.
Primary challenge for 2006. That's all I have to say on the subject of Joementum. That, and "third-way tie for third place". In other words, you came in fifth, Joe. In other words, you were a drag on the freakin' ticket in 2000 and lost us the election, you sanctimonious ass.
Come on dems, anybody in Conn up for this?
Joe's Jewish and supports Israel, the same reason my dad supports this whole mess. It's interesting how Israel is rarely mentioned in connection to this adminestrations policies.
