Lieberman: U.S. May Be Attacked In 2009
McCain Supporter Says Terrorists Have Tested New Presidents By Launching Attacks In First Year Of Term

(CBS) In describing the reasons he believes the Republicans' presumptive nominee for president would be better prepared than the Democrats' to lead the nation next January, Sen. Joe Lieberman said that history shows the United States would likely face a terrorist attack in 2009.

"Our enemies will test the new president early," Lieberman, I-Conn., told Face The Nation host Bob Schieffer. "Remember that the truck bombing of the World Trade Center happened in the first year of the Clinton administration. 9/11 happened in the first year of the Bush administration."

Lieberman nonetheless distanced himself from remarks by McCain chief strategist Charlie Black, who came under criticism for suggesting in an interview that McCain's election chances would be improved if a terrorist attack occurred before November.

3. Joe

Get the fuck out of my party. We don't want you anymore, if we ever really wanted you. Now, go do your Zell Miller impression and disappear from view just like he did. Now would be good.

4. U.S.: Lieberman May Be Shitcanned in 2009

Won't it be great to see this clown stripped of his leasership roles in the Senate after November?

It's going to be a lonely place, Joe.

5. The terrorists wanted to teach the last two presidents who's boss

and Stupid seems to have taken the lesson to heart, doing most of their work for them.

Whether or not they have other demands is anybody's guess, since Stupid's government is lying to us about everything.

Holy Joe has a point, but two instances aren't quite enough to prove a trend, much less a rule.

Still, he needs to shut up and go away. He is, after all, part of the problem. There's no way he can be part of the solution.

7. So He Knows Something We Don't?

Joe knows there's an attack being planned? He has some special information that he's not acting upon or sitting back (just like this regime did in 2001) and wait for a disaster to happen? If he is then he should be hauled to Gitmo and waterboarded until he gives up what he knows or he should STFU!

8. Gee Joe, why such a short memory?

Remember the compound in Lebanon that got blown to smithereens early in St. Ronnie's first term that sent 241 Marines to Kingdom Come? Of course you don't, and neither does our short-memoried popular media. So it seems that the terrorists have been at this for a long time, and we've been responding "tough" and with lots and lots of violence for a quarter of a century or longer.

Maybe it's time we tried something else? What we're doing doesn't work, and it continues to not work. And we're borrowing ourselves into bankruptcy, thanks to the economic policies promulgated by your newest, bestest buddies in the Senate.

9. But it can all be avoided if he becomes the Vice President

Which would make LIEberman himself a terrorist for making terrorist threats, correct?
