No Accountability
More choice bits from Sen. Lieberman's speech, as prepared for delivery:
On accountability being a "luxury" we can't afford:
On the Democratic party "giving up" on Iraq:
On accountability being a "luxury" we can't afford:
But the fact is, as vexing and painful as this situation is today, we don't have the luxury of playing "what if" games with the past. As Churchill said when some of his supporters wanted to focus on investigating the actions of his predecessor, "if the present tries to sit in judgment of the past, it will lose the future."
On the Democratic party "giving up" on Iraq:
The truth is, Lamont's plan is not a plan for changing course. This is a plan for giving up in Iraq. For giving up on Iraq's hopes for becoming free and independent. And for giving up Iraq to the sectarian militias, to the terrorists, and to the Iranians and Syrians who would exploit the resulting chaos.

They stopped playing "what if" games in England after they THREW CHAMBERLAIN OUT ON HIS ASS!!!
Once Joe and all these other neocons are out of power forever, then we should resist the temptation to hold constant hearings abour their incompetance. But until that day...

I wish Joe would stop quoting Churchill or at least make the right analogy.
If Joe is Winston Churchill; Iraq is Gallipoli.
(Gallipoli being a fruitless campaign suggested by Winston Churchill at the Dardanelles in WWI. The failure of the battle led to him being fired from First Lord of the Admiralty)
