Lieberman is lying AGAIN, now about his WMD position! [View All]

[BurtWorm]

Last weekend he lied about his questioning of Rumsfeld's competence to lead the DOD to war (he implied he's questioned it all along and that is absolutely not true). Now he's lying about how seriously he took the threat to WMDs.

The karma karma chameleon really let his true neo-conservative colors shine through this afternoon. TPM Cafe has the transcript.

BECK: Why is it there aren’t more politicians saying, Guys, this is World War III. We are in deep trouble.

LIEBERMAN: Yeah, I mean, I don’t know the answer to that…Everything you just said about the Middle East is right….

We’ll just let that comment stand as is. Take it for what it’s worth and draw your own questions/conclusions from it. It’s hard to imagine, but from there, the fifth party candidate really cut loose.

BECK: I’ve been saying this before we even went into Iraq, that we’re trying to change the face of the Middle East. The weapons of mass destruction was a nice side benefit. We were trying to go and pop the head of the snake in Iran. That’s what we were trying to do. And I don’t think anybody had the courage or could actually come out and say that with world politics the way they are.

LIEBERMAN: Well, you’re right. And I think if I fault the administration for anything before the war—‘cause I think we did the right thing in going in to overthrow Saddam—it’s that they oversold the WMD part of the argument….

Aside from the obvious bungling of the war’s prosecution by the Bush-Cheney-Lieberman cabal, they’ve never been upfront with the American people about why 132,000 of our troops are stuck in the middle of a bloody civil (world?) war. It’s just another reason you can’t trust Senator Lieberman to hold President Bush’s feet to the fire on Iraq.

To them, the war can be best described as a massive public relations campaign at home while crossing thier fingers and hoping for the best overseas. That’s the only reason Senator Lieberman would say, “they oversold the WMD part of the argument.” But incidentally, “they” weren’t the only ones selling the “WMD part of the argument.” So was the cheerleader-in-chief, Joe Lieberman.

Newsmax:

” was trying to break out of the U.N. sanctions by going back into rapid redevelopment of chemical and biological and probably nuclear ,” Lieberman said, calling the Iraqi dictator “a ticking time bomb.”

How about this quote? Joe Lieberman, September 4, 2002 (fixed):

Every day Saddam remains in power with chemical weapons, biological weapons, and the development of nuclear weapons is a day of danger for the United States.
