Lieberman Predicts Attack Will Come Early In Next Presidency

Lacking any cogent plan to solve America's problems or a platform of coherent policy proposals, the McCain campaign has got only a few stale acts in its repertoire. One is empty headed fear-mongering. That's the role that the GOP's aide-de-camp Joe Lieberman found himself playing on this week's Face The Nation, where he warned that al Qaeda would "test the new President early." What does that mean for Joe Lieberman? That means America needs John McCain, who will be "ready on day one" to continue the Bush administration's policies of appeasement that have allowed al Qaeda to regroup, flourish, and uhm . . . presumably plan this welcome-wagon act that Lieberman is predicting. Anyway, the joke will be on everybody else when George W. Bush crowns himself President-for-Life, thus foiling al-Qaeda's plans forever.

[WATCH.]

LIEBERMAN: We need a president who's ready to be Commander-in-Chief on day one. Senator McCain is - incidentally, Senator Clinton said that over and over again and she was right. She was ready to be president on day one. Why? Because our enemies will test the new president early. Remember that the truck bombing at the World Trade Center happened in the first year of the Clinton administration. 9/11 happened in the first year of the Bush administration. John McCain is ready to take the reins on January 20, 2009. He doesn't need any training.

Lieberman, you are both ignorant and dangerous. There have been more Great White attacks in America than terrorist anything. Driving the freeway is far more dangerous. Fear based "thinking" reverberates at the lowest rungs of human consciousness. But hell, that, and a great deal of special / foreign interest money keeps you in office. Your's will be one of the sweeter toilet flushes we'll hear.

[SanityClaus]

You flatter him by suggesting he is ignorant. He is fully aware of his own treachery.

[NYC80]

the only thing that can save the GOP right now is another terrorist attack in american soil. otherwise the GOP will be out of power for a long time.

[ebanks84]

That lying man is a disgrace to human beings period. He refuses to tell the people that Al Qaeda was originally the name of a program and not a terrorist group. He is the epitome of terror. His face evens terrorizes me!

[Syco]

FEAR FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mollysgran]

Lieberman, you are now TOTALLY useless. Why didn't you tell us about 9/11?

[ippanja]

Please be kind to Senator Joe Lieberman, as a child he spent too much time alone in his room.

[mollysgran]

That would be a good place for him to be NOW!

[speedingpullet]

Someone please explain to me why this guy still thinks he's a Dem?

[BatedBreath]

I've thought that there might be an attack in 2009, too. Consider what happened with the first World Trade Center bombing in Clinton's first year and of course 9/11 in the first year of Bush's first term. I think the plotters perceive a vulnerablilty in the system when an administration changes hand, and they may very well be right.

However, Lieberman's logic breaks down when he says to elect mccain because of that possibility. Linkins is correct when he assesses what a mccain presidency would do. We would have to worry about another attack at the next changing of the guard. IMHO, that is.

[ebanks84]

Elect m-ccain and there will be an attack on I-ran next.

[NYC80]

Wirewilly yes This zionist senator from CT is talking to the elite, and he is right there will be a terrorist attack in 2009 whether its mccain or obama. Lets check history

1993 first year of clinton in office the world trade center got bombed, but it didn't go down

2001 first year of bush in office 911

2009 first year of president------------------------ another attack


hmmmmmm

[SCG]

Lieberman you're an odious little human being.

[BetterDays]

How desperate is he?

[fredamae]

What in the world is Lie-berman on?

[RoboA2008]

This guy is slime. When will he stop being a punk and join the Republican Party? How does he know there will be another attack and when? Is he going to lead it?

[tyruler]

Slimy neocon, pro-israeli, war-mongering Lie-berman...

And the Democrats continue to support Israel and pro-war funds in Iraq while threatening Iran why again?

That's right: Say it and proclaim it loudly AIPAC.

[JBelbute]

The more this old windbag speaks the more he is ignored.

[CyberGal619]
