Lieberman to Consider Iraq Pullout Plan

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Sen. Joe Lieberman, the three-term Democrat whose independent campaign for re-election is being seen as a referendum on the Iraq war, said Friday he would consider taking a look at a fellow lawmaker's proposal for a timeline for troop withdrawals.

The proposal was floated by Republican Rep. Chris Shays, another Connecticut politician facing a tough re-election battle with an anti-war candidate. Shays has long been a supporter of the war and previously opposed withdrawal timetables.

"It seems to me that Chris is saying, maybe we ought to set some goals for when we want to get out, and I'd like to see what he has in mind before I comment on it," Lieberman said while campaigning in New Haven.

"As I've said to you over and over again, the sooner we get out of Iraq, the better it's going to be for the Iraqis and us, but if we leave too soon for reasons of American politics, it's going to be disaster for the Iraqis and for us," he said.

3. Operation Save My Ass from Defeat...

In the end, it's all about self-preservation with that sellout. I hope any Dems who still support this fraud can now see that he is without conscience. He'll do or say anything to get re-elected.

4. Now he's starting to pander like John McCain

5. Too late, much too late - and too damn little.

Where's Dolstein for the repuke counter viewpoint?
