Chuck Hagel plastered Holy Joe on Meet the Press this morning and it's about time somebody called him on his garbage. Lieberman got on his soapbox and tried to tell us that Bush's implementation of the McCain Doctrine is our only hope in Iraq and then throws his grand children into the ring. He's even more offensive today than usual if that's possible because he uses the 9/11 attacks and says we're fighting the same enemy in Iraq that attacked our country. He knows that's a right wing talking point that's just not true---yet he'll try to scare people anyway, Shame on you!

Lieberman jumps on the Iran bandwagon that Bush threw out last week and is setting up support for an American attack on them.
