"iranity" insanity...

How in the hell did Al Gore pick this man as his running mate in 2000? It is beyond the pale.

Lieberman (I-MA) and Kyl (R-AZ) have proposed an amendment to the FY 2008 Defense Authorization bill that the czar and his Rasputin (Bush/Cheney administration) could put a case forward that they have the authority from Congress to go to was with Iran. [Politics Plus] Here are the two important parts of the amendment:

    (3) that it should be the policy of the United States to combat, contain, and roll back the violent activities and destabilizing influence inside Iraq of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, its foreign facilitators such as Lebanese Hezbollah, and its indigenous Iraqi proxies;
   
(4) to support the prudent and calibrated use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and military instruments, in support of the policy described in paragraph (3) with respect to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies;

I have no real comment on this. It speaks for itself in very clear terms. They want war with Iran. They are not going to stop until they have taken the ultimate step of putting the U.S. in the position of not standing by its historical values - diplomacy, cooperation and collaboration - rather than first strike as Bush/Cheney did in Iraq.

Of course, they'll cry that progressives and the Democrats are anti-American, pro-terrorism, un-supportive of the troops, and all the rest of their bullshit.
