Joe Lieberman

Joe Lieberman is still cheering for an attack on Iran.

Sen. Joseph Lieberman said Sunday the United States should consider a military strike against Iran because of Tehran's involvement in Iraq.

"I think we've got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq," Lieberman said. "And to me, that would include a strike over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people coming back into Iraq to kill our soldiers."

I am pretty sure this is bullshit, just like all the other bullshit these guys have been peddling for the last five years. Like the IEDs they claimed were coming from Iran - until oops, they found a factory in Bagdad.

There are maybe a few groups in the world who have clear motives for us to go to war with Iran. The big oil companies might stand to make a tidy profit from the resulting spike in oil prices. Ditto Russia. Nobody has a better motive than the Israeli right-wing, though. They are terrified of Iran, and there's nothing they would like better than for us to take out the threat of Iran. That's why Olmert and his principal deputy came over here to lead the cheering section for staying in Iraq at AIPAC.

I think Americans need a clear view of who it is that's cheering on the idea of war with Iran, and why. I think we need to know that elected leaders are putting America's interest first.
