Face The Joementum
Hearing Joe (R) came off as uncharacteristally nervous and unconfident on Face the Nation this morning. Losing an election must be quite stressful.
Video will likely be up soon at ConnecticutBlog.

He also came off as dishonest.
Joe Lieberman 5/7/04, Fox News:
“We’re in the middle of a war — you wouldn’t want to have the secretary of defense change unless there’s really good reason for it and I don’t see any good reason at this time,” Lieberman said.”
Joe Lieberman, CBS News 8/20/06:
“”I think it’s still time for new leadership at the Pentagon,” he said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Lieberman, an early supporter of the Iraq war, said he called for Rumsfeld to step down in 2003. “With all respect to Don Rumsfeld, who has done a grueling job for six years, we would benefit from new leadership to work with our military in Iraq,” he said Sunday.”

If there are no benchmarks, no demarkation, no timetable, then it's "indefinite."
indefinite adj. Not definite, especially:
a. Unclear; vague.
b. Lacking precise limits.
c. Uncertain; undecided.
Lieberman's position is Bush's "stay the course" but without "the course."
Iraq is in the middle of a Civil War. There is no Iraqi "unity" government. The "if we leave [now, soon, pick a date], things will get worse" is a Straw Man argument.
