From Crooks and Liars:

This isn't the only issue, but what did Joe Lieberman say about Iraq?

Campos: "The situation in Iraq is a lot better that it was a year ago," Lieberman observed. The Iraqis "are on the way to building a free and independent Iraq. Two-thirds of their military is now ready, on their own, to lead the fight with some logistical backing from the U.S. or stand up on their own totally. That's progress. And the question is, are we going to abandon them when they are making that progress?"

From the Cafferty file:

Cafferty: Wolf, it was another horrible day in Iraq. Attacks near the Green Zone in Baghdad killed between 5- 16 people, 10 others died carrying a body to Najaf for burial. An Iraqi diplomat was kidnapped in Baghdad. The U.S. military is condemning a video posted on Islamic websites that claims to show the bodies of two U.S. soldiers kidnapped, killed and mutilated last month in Iraq. And this all comes as the House holds a hearing to evaluate the Bush administration's national strategy for victory in Iraq. Meanwhile a recent Gallup poll found that about two out of three Americans want a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq and 31 percent want it to start immediately.

What the hell is Lieberman smoking? Must be some of that "Last Throes," stuff that the Republicans are smokin'. Cause things are a LONG way from getting better in Iraq.
But if you want to know what Lieberman's real problems are, read this great WAPO piece. Lieberman IS a Bush enabler.

Lot of folks talkin' about that piece: Bull Moose, New York Observer, Gateway Pundit, MaxSpeak, The Next Hurrah, LamontBlog, MyDD, This Modern World, spazeboy, Blue Crab Boulevard, Middle Earth Journal, Eschaton, TPMCafe, Democrat Taylor Marsh …, DownWithTyranny!, My Left Nutmeg, The Horse's Mouth and Daily Kos

The truth is, whatever happens in the election, Lieberman has already seen his finest hour, in 2000, and he has been on a slide every since. His effectiveness in the Democratic Party has been diminished, probably fatally. While regional politics don't really appeal to me. It will be interesting to see how this one sorts out.
