With talk like this Leiberman will be Fred Thompson's primary competition.

Sen. Joe Lieberman repeated his call Friday for the United States to use “limited military action” against Iranian camps suspected of being used to train and equip terrorists who are killing coalition troops in Iraq.

Speaking to reporters after an appearance at a rally supporting jet engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney's competition for a military contract, Lieberman said U.S. diplomatic efforts are important, but military action also must be an option.

Military action should be limited to halting Iranian training of terrorism, not to eliminate possible nuclear sites, though force could also stem Iran's nuclear ambitions, he said.

“If we don't figure out first through diplomacy and, if necessary, through limited military action how to stop the Iranians from killing Americans and our Arab allies today it's going to be impossible for us to do what everybody in both parties and all ideologies say we have to do tomorrow, which is to stop them from getting nuclear weapons,” he said.

“Iran has effectively begun to carry out military action against American soldiers and a lot of our allies in the Arab world and if we just sit back they're going to continue to move forward,” he said. “They're going to take it as a sign of weakness.”

If you believe statements made by Newt this is going to be a fifty year war. One president isn't that big a deal since they only get to run the war for four years, eight at the most if they don't screw it up in the first four. The leader of the war will be judged on merit every four years by the people. Our other political leaders should be held accountable according to how good everything else is running and by how much they may be guilty of hampering the progress of a costly war.

The Democrats were short-sighted to use the war for political purposes. They would have been better off and the American people would have been better off if the Democrats would have instead chose to make some hay on domestic issues instead of hanging their hat on the single issue of Bush is a despsicable failure, thus cutting the legs from under the war effort.

Maybe Leiberman can stage a coup of the Democrat party but more likely would be Thompson (R) against Lerberman (I) and some Idiot (D). The Idiot (D) coming in third would be historic and would foreshadow a better future, I think.

Most of the 2008 presidential candidates are backed by the money of David Rockefeller in one way or another, and that money is being spent for the purpose of pushing forward the agenda for One World Government, which will greatly benefit international corporations.

All of these candidates are members of David Rockefeller's Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), which advocates One World Government --
