KING: If you had to vote again, if time could roll back, would you go into Iraq again? LIEBERMAN: I would. I would and incidentally, John McCain, Bob Kerry, and I put legislation in in 1998, when George Bush was still in Texas, saying that we thought
Saddam Hussein, a mass murder, had used chemical weapons against the Kurds and the Iranians, supported terrorists, invaded two countries, wanted to be the new emperor of the Middle East,
that he was a ticking time bomb and if we didn't take him down we would pay for it. The fact is that we did the right thing. Mistakes were made by the administration after he fell. But now the question is how do we get out?
And I think if we just cut and ran as my opponent wants to do by a deadline it would be a disaster for the Iraqis and for us. http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0608/09/lkl.01.html(Again, Senator Lieberman: Who was it, Saddam Hussein or
OSAMA BIN LADEN, who attacked us on 9/11? And, as the American people understand, the mistake was made in going into Iraq in the first place.)
