It’s not that hard to figure out, but I enjoy the humor of asking Lieberman the question.

Thanks for always putting Israel before America, Joe.

What a joke.

Yeah, not nice. Not polite, either – but damn, it feels good to say it.

From Canada … where we too have a fool at the helm …

In the days of yore, leaders led from the front, not sitting in front of computer monitors thousands of miles away in the bomb proof bunker called the Pentagon or the “situation room” of the White House.
To get things back on track, I propose that every politician who votes to send our children off to slaughter and be slaughtered should, by law, be required to be trained, then sent to spend six-months inside the theater of action, be it Iraq or whatever war-de-jour.
Provisions could be made for these legislators to continue to vote and legislate via secure channels on the internet. When done, the younger politicians would be issued weapons and combat gear (including body armor — but only after all the young soldiers their policies placed in harm’s way have all been issued theirs). They then would routinely be ordered out on combat patrols in the same armorless Humvees our young troops are dying in.
Pols too old to go on patrol will be given a tent inside the green-zone where they can learn to live with the fear and uncertainty of rubbing shoulders with Iraqis, any of whom might just be the next vest-bomber. Their sleep won’t be so solid since every random incoming rocket or mortar round has a chance to wound, maim or red-X them.
After doing their legislative work via e-mail, the older pols will be assigned to work as orderlies with the grave registration units where they can help prepare the mutilated bodies of our young for shipment back to their grieving parents. Also, health permitting, these older politicians who voted to send our youth off to “their war,” must put on their blue, pin-striped suits and serve as escorts on the body-planes shuttling back and forth at night to the Dover body-processing-center, and then on to the homes of the dead soldiers where they will personally present the American flag to the grieving parents in lieu of their children. (Note: The Secretary of Defense will be required to actually sign the death letters and not use his signature machine.)
If travel is deemed too hard on the aging bodies of these politician/warriors, they will be assigned to work as orderlies in MASH tents where they can clean up the body-fluids and bloody gauze created by amputation operations.
Perhaps when these spine-challenged politicians are required to see and hear and smell the reality of the armless, legless, eyeless young men and women their policies have created, they will think twice about sending them off to a war that truly, short of oil, had no cause.
It’s easy to strut around saying, “Bring ‘em on” when you’re thousands of miles away from the awfulness of war and surrounded by the best body-guards in the world. If we passed a resolution that stuck all those NeoCon, chicken-hawk, war-lovers in the middle of that carnage of their making, we would quickly see some real foreign-relation policy changes — especially if you told them after six months that their tour of duty was being extended.

My wife and I weep every day for the sensless loss of so many beautiful young men and women in “Rumsfelds War” … also we see it as the war of all working in and for the Bush administration … The Democrats also seem spineless and as guilty as sin of supporting the folly through total inaction.

Come on America the world needs your best in these times of peril and unreason … Your countr has had better leadership in the past (Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln and FDR) ….

I’m sure there must be better leadership found in your homes & hearts …. do something soon before the insanity of the species destoys or at least severly cripples the world in countless ways for future generations.

In comparison, Dukakis looked like f’n
GI JOE when he wore that helmet on the tank in 1988.

Don’t count on the MSM to notice though.
Wouldn’t be politically correct.
