In sharp reversal, Lieberman praises Obama's Afghanistan policy

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

Months after slamming then-presidential candidate Barack Obama's world view as "naive," Sen. Joe Lieberman reversed course in a critical foreign policy arena Thursday, praising the new administration's approach in Afghanistan.

The former Democratic vice presidential nominee from Connecticut told an audience at the Brookings Institution he is optimistic the United States can turn the tide in the former Taliban stronghold in part because "President Obama has made very clear that this is a war he intends to win and he has moved swiftly to take command of it."

1. Didn't this used to be called "trimming?"

And politicians (and bishops) who did this were rightly scorned, not so? Or is LIEberman beyond scorn?

2. He's going to kiss Obama's ass for the next four years

Obama won 61% in his state and LIEberman is up for reelection in 2012, at which time I predict he will endorse Obama as well.

"Doctor, I've got a Lieberman on my ass..is it maglignant?"
