WASHINGTON, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- The man who beat U.S. Sen. Joe Lieberman in Connecticut's Democratic primary, Ned Lamont, says his victory does not mean the public is softening on terror. snip

Lamont defeated Lieberman, who is running now as an independent to hold his seat, largely on the strength of his opposition to the Iraq war, which Lieberman supports.

"What this election showed is that a lot of people in Connecticut think that the invasion of Iraq has nothing to do with our war on terror," Lamont said. "It's been a terrible distraction."

2. So he thinks we can have a war on terror?

I thought he was anti-war.

4. Once again the Republicans are conflating Iraq

with the broader "war on terror," which actually makes sense, because the "war on terror" is actually just a "war on the middle-east."
