Lieberman: We should start another war

Senator Joe Lieberman, who was Al Gore's running mate in 2000 and is today independent of either party, says we should attack Syria.



My gosh, what is it with liberals these days? We need to start a fourth war now? Did someone slip some compound into the water system in D.C.?

Rube that I am, I thought we were finished with wars of choice, especially since the administration now admits that our military could still be working Libya for months to come.

Well, Hillary Clinton has already quashed the notion of getting involved in Syria but did a soft shoe about how long we'll be in Libya.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the U.S. is not planning to get involved in the recent political turmoil in Syria and evaded questions about the long-term outlook for the military intervention in Libya Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."

"Evaded questions" - so much for the transparency we were promised. But then, we already knew that the president's promise of unprecedented transparency in government was just a gimmick that wouldn't last.

President Obama has abolished the position in his White House dedicated to transparency and shunted those duties into the portfolio of a partisan ex-lobbyist who is openly antagonistic to the notion of disclosure by government and politicians.

That was last August.
