Anyone with a pulse knows that John McCain’s buddy, Sen. Joseph Lieberman, is more loyal to Israel than he is to the United States, but I have to highlight something that he said Sunday on CBS. If you read the previous post I ask that Americans come to grips with the fact that we are being lied to every day by our so-called “leaders” about the gravest of matters.
As we all know, there was no “al-Qaeda in Iraq” before our illegal invasion of that country. That kind of makes you wonder about who created them.
At this late stage of the game Lieberman is still at it, insulting the intelligence of the American people as our sons and daughters continue to die in Iraq. Says Liberman:
“If we had done what Sen. Obama asked us to do for the last couple of years (leave Iraq), today Iran and al-Qaeda would be in control of Iraq. It would be a terrible defeat for us and our allies in the Middle East and throughout the world.”
Personally, I think that al-Qaeda is indistinguishable from Mossad, MI5, and the CIA. However, even is we use the “Disney version” of reality, and assume that al-Qaeda is completely independent of these spooks, nobody thinks that al-Qaeda would be “in control of Iraq” if the U.S. was to do the right thing and pull out. Now Lieberman is linking Iran to al-Qaeda, today, and somehow the two are going to take over the world if we don’t continue our illegal occupation of Iraq, even though Iran is Shiite-controlled and al-Qaida is comprised of anti-Shiite Sunnis.

Liberman’s remarks today are truly treasonous. He is attempting to spread disinformation that will lead to the continued death and personal injury of citizens of the sovereign United States of America who are serving in the military in Iraq. He is acting overtly every day via his position as an elected official to ignore the facts and keep American citizens in harm’s way. He is even using his influence to attempt to broaden the conflict by attacking Iran. Iran is no threat to the United States.
This is absolutely unacceptable behavior for anyone, but when you consider that Lieberman is a United States Senator it is jaw dropping. Is anybody in the mainstream media paying attention? Someone with access needs to ask Mr. Liberman how it is that al-Qaeda and Iran are going to team up and control the Middle East if America leaves Iraq. Liberman is not just some partisan yahoo spouting off at the club. He is an elected representative of the people of the United States of America and he has very real and serious responsibilities. He needs to be held accountable for these remarks.

Sometimes I think that it’s the media that has really let this country down, not our elected officials. We have needed a strong media since the country’s inception to keep politicians on their toes and this incarnation of corporate journalists asking corporate politicians questions just ISN’T what I would call strong.
Also, Lieberman is a jerk.
The only true journalists we have today have been berated as conspiracy theorists when what they really are is truth seekers. (Perfect example being Dan Rather losing his job for exposing Bush as a coward and a deserter).
The only “journalists” left are no better than the politicians they cover day in and day out who repeatedly lie to the American people. These so called “journalists” are only there to perpetuate the lies.
