Speaking on the end of a week-long tour of America’s warzones, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I – CT) praised the Pakistani military’s invasion of South Waziristan as a great success, and said the army was “on the move” and could soon attack North Waziristan.
The Pakistani government has also touted the South Waziristan offensive, despite having failed to capture any significant militant leader in months of attacks. They have however, hesitated to pledge attacks on North Waziristan.
It is clear that the Obama Administration has sought to win a commitment from the government for such attacks, and they continue to escalate drone strikes in North Waziristan over growing objections from Pakistani officials, concerned that with 200,000 troops already fighting wars on America’s behalf they are being stretched a little thin.
But while Sen. Lieberman et al clashed with Pakistan’s civilian government, they also met directly with Pakistan’s Army Chief Gen. Parvez Kayani, which will likely draw further accusations of American meddling in Pakistan’s internal affairs at a time when concerns over yet another military coup seem to be growing.
Muslims fighting Muslims, Liebermans Ultimate Dream. he should be more worried about the economy at home, than his other Home Land away from home.
Lieberman has no more currency and cannot be trusted. His words change and are contradicted even by himself. He should resign from the congress and shut up. He is an Israeli "firster" and is dangerous to his own country.
i disagree "joe" is at the center of mainstream political "thought" in this country its sad but true
Ya gotta love those perple in Connecticut… Sikorsky country and don't forget New London… The East Coast Fleet base of the obsolete l[of a weapon, the nuclear sub… Thanks to advances in radar and radio imaging, the oceans have become more & more transparent to those with the advanced system… so nuclear subs are sitting ducks…just waiting to be vaporized at the first hint of nuclear hostilities….. Why one may ask, if these dinosaurs of the sea are so vulnerable to attack, why are they being deployed at tremendous cost..?? The answer is Jobs and campaign bucks…. That Electric Boat subsidiary of General Dynamics that does the sub work there must have lots of lobbyists and hand out plenty of mullah.. Those subs cost billions and when we are talking billions, there is going to be room to siphon a few million here for this and them…and a few million there for you and us… Three point two percent of the population in Connecticut is "[J]ewish" but they send LIEberman to the Senate.. Ya gotta love it..
