Senator Lieberman caught coordinating with Al Qaeda

The Senate had just subpoenaed Bush on attorney firings and warrantless wiretapping, including with a majority of Republicans supporting the warrantless wiretapping subpoena when Senator Lieberman and Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff sprang into action.

Senator Lieberman said July 1 that the subpoena should be opposed as "fiddling" while Glasgow burns. After that we learned that the attacks in Glasgow came from Al Qaeda in Iraq.(1)

It is Senator Lieberman who has supported the Iraq War steadfastly, thereby creating a vastly expanded Al Qaeda in Iraq, capable of striking globally.

On June 25, Senator Lugar had just called on Bush for a change of direction on Iraq.

"In a subsequent interview, Lugar compared his speech to his break with Ronald Reagan over the latter's veto of anti- apartheid legislation in the mid-1980s. Lugar played a key role in getting Congress to override the veto, the only time Congress did so during Reagan's eight years in office."(2)
Lugar had already said "'Our continuing absorption with military activities in Iraq is limiting our diplomatic assertiveness there and elsewhere in the world.'" (3)

No doubt this made Al Qaeda desperate. Al Qaeda had said:

"We ask Allah that they only get out of it after losing 200,000 to 300,000 killed, in order that we give the spillers of blood in Washington and Europe an unforgettable lesson."(4)
Obviously Amerikans were not meeting their quota in Iraq, so Al Qaeda reached out to Senator Lieberman.

Lieberman spoke too soon. The operation did not go well enough to avoid getting caught in the worst way. So now we know it was Al Qaeda Iraq behind it. Al Qaeda Iraq had no doubt noticed Lieberman's promise that Iraq would be an Al Qaeda base if the united $tates lost.(5) That's when Al Qaeda realized that having done so much to start the war and keep it going while Al Qaeda got a foothold, Lieberman was their guy all along.

Ordinarily, MIM would have to concur with a request for 200,000 or 300,000 Amerikkkans to spare. However, it might be tough for us to swallow our pride and support Senator Lieberman. MIM hates to vacillate like that. However, we will support Senator Lieberman against being named an "enemy combatant" subject to the "Military Commissions Act."
