...and not a simpering media whore suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome (Paging Messieurs Kennedy and Kerry)

Lieberman: The Cost of Failure Would Be Catastrophic
Joe Lieberman shows that he’s one of the only Democrats left with an ounce of guts: Lieberman: U.S. to Finish Iraq Mission.BAGHDAD, Iraq, Nov. 23, 2005 (AP On line delivered by Nestles) — U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman told Iraq’s prime minister Wednesday that U.S. forces will remain in Iraq until their mission is complete, despite growing unease in Congress about the progress of the conflict here.
“We cannot let extremists and terrorists, a small number, here in Iraq deprive the 27 million Iraqis of what they want which is a better freer life, safer life for themselves and their children” Lieberman said after his meeting with Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari.
The Connecticut Democrat, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said the cost of success in Iraq would be high “but the cost for America of failure in Iraq would be catastrophic — for America, for the Iraqi people and I believe for the world.”
My vote for President Bush was not so much a vote for Bush but a strong vote
against John Kerry whom I feel is minimally suitable to be a Senator and definitely
NOT Presidential material. Had the Democrats not fallen into such a cess-pit of navel-gazing partisan games and put forth a candidate who was matched to the troubles that we are facing, I would have strongly considered voting for them. Lieberman would have been a shoe-in for me.
