U.S. Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman Want More U.S. Involvement In Libya



Some back ground on these two gentlemen:

Senator Joseph Lieberman is a former Democratic who is now an Independent representing the state of Connecticut. His change in party affiliation came after his defeat in the Democratic primary in August of 2006 to Connecticut businessman Ned Lamont. One of Senator Lieberman's campaign "promises" was that he would work to end the war in Iraq which he supported. Following his narrow victory in that Novembers election Sen. Lieberman did a complete turn around and continued to support the American war in Iraq. In the 2008 presidential campaign Senator Lieberman appeared at the Republican National Convention offering his full support to its candidate Senator John McCain of Arizona.

Senator John McCain of Arizona fully supported the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan by U.S. forces he has previously supported the use of military force against Iran and its nuclear facilities. He once twisted the Beach Boys song Barbra Ann into "Bomb Bomb Bomb" "Bomb Bomb Iran." Further even though he was held as a prisoner of war by the North Vietnamese and tortured during his time in captivity he saw no problem with the Bush administrations use of enhanced interrogation Techniques which under the Geneva Conventions and the UN Declaration on Human Rights calls torture.

With these two clowns in full throttled support and given Americas previous missteps in that region of the world what could possibly go wrong?
