Gen. Clark rips Lieberman.

Gen. Clark rips Lieberman.
Gen. Wesley Clark writes in response to Lieberman’s calls for attacking Iran, “Only someone who never wore the uniform or thought seriously about national security would make threats at this point. What our soldiers need is responsible strategy, not a further escalation of tensions in the region. Senator Lieberman must act more responsibly and tone down his threat machine.”

Good for Clark.
Loserman needs to be bitch-slapped.
And he’s no Democrat anymore.
June 12th, 2007 at 3:31 pmWell said, Gen Clark.
June 12th, 2007 at 3:32 pmChooo…Chooo…
June 12th, 2007 at 3:32 pmSorry. That was supposed to be Lieberman’s threat machine coming down the tracks. I’ve programming too long today.
June 12th, 2007 at 3:35 pmHey, General Wes, how come you’re not runnin?
June 12th, 2007 at 3:37 pmThe Dems really need Wes Clark as Pres., VP, Sec of State or Defense in Nov 2008 to begin fixing the massive destruction of past 8 yrs by Bush/Cheney
Wes Clark – Leading by Example

Hey, General Wes, how come you’re not runnin?
Comment by RUCerious
Excellent question, RUC.
June 12th, 2007 at 3:43 pmRun, Wes, Run. Or at least keep speaking up.
June 12th, 2007 at 3:49 pmSlap the bitch, Wes!
June 12th, 2007 at 3:53 pmYa got my vote.
Gore/Clark 08. The fantasy lives on…
June 12th, 2007 at 3:55 pmHey you Connecticut voters who re-elected this 21 century crook ,hope you are proud.Maybe you and your kids can go with joementum and fight the Iranians.
June 12th, 2007 at 3:56 pmWes Clark for president.
Good man, smart man, plain-spoken, successful leader. We need him.
We don’t need Senators who fail to show up for a no-confidence vote on the AG.
Sorry, Obama, Biden, Dodd — that’s not leadership.
June 12th, 2007 at 3:58 pmTP a “rip” would include some form of “a$$hole” or “mother fu*ker” in it.
Otherwise, this is another non-binding resolution/letter.
June 12th, 2007 at 4:05 pmNow if we could only bitch-slap Dubya, Darth, Perle and the rest of the NeoCon cabal who never served a day in combat!!!!
Gen. Wes, got any of those slaps left????
June 12th, 2007 at 4:06 pmWes Clark needs to be the next Secretary of Defense!!!
June 12th, 2007 at 4:08 pmThank you Mr. Clark. More people need to come out and put this idiot Lieberman in his place. He wants to start a third world war. The Democrats should be all over the MSM criticizing this moron. He is no longer a Democrat, why are the Dems afraid to attack him?
June 12th, 2007 at 4:08 pmLieberman needs to see combat. Lieberman needs to go home to Izreal. Leiberman needs to STFU.
June 12th, 2007 at 4:10 pmWhen’s the last time Lieberman was right about anything on foreign policy?
Can anyone remember?
June 12th, 2007 at 4:12 pm.
#18 Ol’ Joe is really the Senator from the great state of Isreal, who just happened to get voted in by the state of Connecticut.
Too bad that state wasn’t smart enough to figure that out BEFORE the ‘06 elections! Thanks a lot!!!!!
June 12th, 2007 at 4:19 pmWhat I still don’t understand is why the Democrats don’t kick Lieberman to the curb. He is not helping the Democrats, he is in fact hurting them. Lieberman doesn’t want to become a Republic because he will have no power if he does that. He loves the power he is lording over the Democrats. It’s time for the Democrats to stop him and kick him off of all his committees and stop caucusing with him.
June 12th, 2007 at 4:23 pmClark is correct, but he needs to call for LIEberman to resign from Senate.
June 12th, 2007 at 4:30 pmIf I were Obama or Edwards I’d be begging Wes Clark to sign on as Vice President next Fall so I could announce the ticket a week before the primaries start.
June 12th, 2007 at 4:32 pmWes Clark is to Patton what Joe LIEberman is to Elmer Fudd
June 12th, 2007 at 4:33 pmJoe Lieberman is at it again
After wrongly supporting George W. Bush’s strategic blunder of attacking Iraq, and continuing to support Bush’s failed policies after the invasion, Senator Joe Lieberman made irresponsible comments this weekend regarding military action against Iran.
On CBS’s Face the Nation, Lieberman said, “If [the Iranians] don’t play by the rules, we’ve got to use our force, and to me, that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they’re doing.”
This type of “tough-talk” by the Bush Administration and folks like Senator Joe Lieberman is why VoteVets.org and I collaborated to create StopIranWar.com, calling for heavy diplomatic, economic, and political action to discourage the acquisition of nuclear capabilities by the Iranian government.
Over 40,000 people have signed our petition to President Bush, urging him to work with our allies and use every diplomatic, political, and economic option at our disposal to deal with Iran. Add your name to the petition today!
StopIranWar.com.
Senator Lieberman’s saber rattling does nothing to help dissuade Iran from aiding Shia militias in Iraq, or trying to obtain nuclear capabilities. In fact, it’s highly irresponsible and counter-productive, and I urge him to stop.
This kind of rhetoric is irresponsible and only plays into the hands of President Ahmadinejad, and those who seek an excuse for military action. What we need now is full-fledged engagement with Iran. We should be striving to bridge the gulf of almost 30 years of hostility and only when all else fails should there be any consideration of other options. The Iranians are very much aware of US military capabilities. They don’t need Joe Lieberman to remind them that we are the militarily dominant power in the world today.
Only someone who never wore the uniform or thought seriously about national security would make threats at this point. What our soldiers need is responsible strategy, not a further escalation of tensions in the region. Senator Lieberman must act more responsibly and tone down his threat machine.
We cannot let people like Joe Lieberman dictate the terms of this debate.
Sign the petition to President Bush today!

Thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Wes Clark
June 12th, 2007 at 4:35 pmOops.
June 12th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
Thank you Mr. Clark
Now whe’s dat crazy wabbit?
Joe
June 12th, 2007 at 4:38 pmBut the Senator from Israel is just trying to represent his constitutions, ok? Whats wrong with a little bombing?
June 12th, 2007 at 4:43 pm…And since we have almost achieved victory in VietRaq, we need a new oil-rich nation to conquer…its a slamdunk (or however you say that in hebrew).
Correction…above…..”Constituents”…not constitutions…sorry
June 12th, 2007 at 4:44 pmANYBODY REMEMBER IT WAS LIEBERMAN WHO DROPPED THE INVESTIGATION OF THE WHITE HOUSE FAILED KATRINA RESPONSE?
Said he wanted to avoid a witchhunt.
http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/washington/index.ssf?/base/news-1/1168673400293640.xml&coll=1
Funny how the MSM sort of didn’t cover this part of Lieberman’s scullduggery very thoroughly.
June 12th, 2007 at 4:47 pmSTFU joe, you moron.
further, you are proof that somewhere along the line, a republican once tapped an anteater.
June 12th, 2007 at 4:57 pmIt was Lieberman who dropped the Katrina probe of the White House. He proved himself that day an enemy to America.
June 12th, 2007 at 4:59 pmhttp://www.nola.com/news/t-p/washington/index.ssf?/base/news-1/1168673400293640.xml&coll=1
I got all excited because I thought Wes had “literally” ripped Lieberman. Like MC Rove “rips” the heads off small animals. I still have the visual to sustain me though.

Joe is a jerkoff,
Wesley smacked his ass down hard,
Wes runs for office

Oy….got any limericks? :}
June 12th, 2007 at 5:19 pmLimericks, here goes,
There once was a guy named Joe,
In his cave, he kept a dead ho,
You have to admit, it stunk like shit,
But look at all the money Joe saved.
June 12th, 2007 at 5:43 pmThe media contines to provice idiots like Holy Joe a venue to spout their warmongering s— even though they haven’t been right about the middle east in their entire political life.
June 12th, 2007 at 6:13 pm“The poorest being that crawls on earth, contending to save itself from injustice and oppression, is an object respectable in the eyes of God and man. But I cannot conceive any existence under heaven (which in the depths of its wisdom tolerates all sorts of things) that is more truly odious and disgusting than an impotent, helpless creature, without civil wisdom or military skill, without a consciousness of any other qualification for power but his servility to it, bloated with pride and arrogance, calling for battles which he is not to fight, contending for a violent dominion which he can never exercise, and satisfied to be himself mean and miserable, in order to render others contemptible and wretched.”

June 12th, 2007 at 6:21 pmThank You, General Clark.
June 12th, 2007 at 7:26 pmA fool is a Lieberman.
Another neocon chickenhawk pussy trying to foment israel’s proxy wars.
June 12th, 2007 at 9:25 pmAs Senator Webb said, Sir:
LET US SHOW THEM THE WAY
Thank you, yet again, for putting country first. This one, unlike Lieberman.
I still think he was put on the Gore ticket as an Achilles heel purposefully- think he’s been in cahoots with the neo-cons for all this time.
June 13th, 2007 at 12:32 amAnyone remember the Ad Clark did for Lamont? Last line was: “Re-elect Joe Lieberman? Well, there’s a word for that — Mistake.”
Right again, Sir!

June 13th, 2007 at 1:09 amLieberman, the coward idiot that wasn’t capable of walking some steps in Baghdad without a full cohort of soldiers, shoulder to shoulder, shielding him from any threat, now becomes the war hero, conveniently when he is secure and safe back in the USA. What a warmonger idiot. BTW, the pants you used down there stink of sh!t yet.
June 13th, 2007 at 7:36 amWhat a wonderful smackdown. Keep going, General. I’ll hold your coat.
June 13th, 2007 at 11:46 amFor those posters that aren’t aware of political/military?? regulations, Clark can’t be Sec Def for ten years after retirement.
For some who think Wes Clark should be VP…..he’s WAY above any of the current candidates – both parties- in leadership, knowledge, experience intellect…….don’t think” VP” will happen!
June 13th, 2007 at 12:09 pmClark is at it again. I love it.
