A Republican I Like and...

A "Democrat" I can't stand! They did Face The Nation this morning and Joe Lieberman was his usual "the world is a black and white place" while Chuck Hagel made sense. I still can't believe Connecticut sent this idiot back to the Senate. He's an embarrassment. He's all about himself. He's just as stupid and arrogant as Bush. He was the Democrat who essentially killed the necessary criticism of Bush Policy during the run up to war. He was the one who stood by Bush while all of the errors and mistakes were killing our young people. He made it look like there was far more bipartisan support for this war than there ever was. And the blood is on his hands. This failure is his to share with Bush. He'll go down in history as the most vocal supporter of the biggest foreign policy mistake the US has ever made.

LIEBERMAN: I believe that America is a mighty enough nation that we should never fear to talk to anyone. But anyone who believes that Iran and Syria really want to help us to succeed in Iraq, I just is missing the reality. Asking Iran and Syria to help us succeed in Iraq is like your local fire department asking a couple of arsonists to help put out the fire. These people are flaming the fire. They are the extremists. They are supporting terrorists in Iraq, in Lebanon and of course in the Palestinian areas.

SCHIEFFER: Senator Hagel is shaking his head.

HAGEL: No, that’s not the point. Of course the Iranians and Syrians are not going to come to our assistance. Of course not. But they are going to respond in their own self-interest. All nations respond in their own self-interests. Tallyrand once said that nations don’t have friends. They have interests. He was right. Ahh, it’s not in the interest of Syria or Jordan or Iran to have a failed state that would be a complete mess for the middle east.
