Is this the same Holy Joe who sold all his values down the river to be a yes man for Al Gore? It can’t be.
The United States shouldn’t feel obligated to allow U.N. forces to play a role in stabilizing a postwar Iraq, presidential hopeful Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., said in Tucson yesterday.
“The U.N. truly lost its will in refusing to implement or enforce the resolution that it adopted,” Lieberman said, referring to the measure that required Iraq to disarm weapons of mass destruction.
“They can help us achieve what we want and share the costs, but I wouldn’t feel obligated to bring them in.”
The United States’ commitment to removing Saddam Hussein and its willingness to risk American lives has earned the United States the right to determine the fate of post-Saddam Iraq, Lieberman said.
That fate, ideally, would be the establishment of a democracy, but Lieberman said it will take time to reach that goal
But it is the same Joe. Well put, too.
