Lieberman calls for war cabinet

The proposal is for a bipartisan national unity government, sort of, as carried at ANTIWAR.COM with a full story at the Hartford Courant

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, increasingly isolated in his own Democratic party because of his strong support for the Iraq war, today called on the White House and congressional leaders to form a special "war cabinet" to provide advice and direction for the war effort.

Less below the fold

The story goes on to describe Lieberman as saying "The Connecticut Democrat's "Bipartisan Victory in Iraq Administrative Group," designed to take some of the political edge off the war debate, would be modeled after similar panels during the Vietnam War and World War II."

One infers from the coverage that Lieberman thinks most Democrats agree with him.  His opinion on dissent was quoted as " "We can't tolerate the kind of division that current exists in our country," the senator said. "

  Was a fool, is a fool, and will always be a fool, albeit a treacherous and traitorous one.  No one trusts him or believes him, not the Dems, not the Repugs.  Why doesn't he just accept facts, and get real, and move to a condo in Haifa?

  "We can't tolerate the kind of division that current exists in our country,"

  Translation, Bush's polls are down so this will attempt to make people think that the Dems are now supporting the Pres.

  Isn't there a way to kick his traitor ass out of the Dem party. The media is always using him as an example of how mainstream Dem leaders support Chimpy.

•  Lieberman, to quote Jon Stewart,

  should go f*** a duck.

  Lowell and Connecticut should send him packing.
