Lieberman supports escalation in Iraq, might filibuster anyone trying to rein Bush in

Many of us have been saying for a while now that Joe Lieberman is not a moderate Democrat. He's not even a moderate Republican. He's a conservative Republican when it comes to the Iraq war. He holds the same position as John McCain. And John McCain holds the same position as George Bush. They are a very small minority who believe that the Iraq war is going well, and that we need to send lots more troops into Iraq in order to escalate the war even further. Lieberman is even now talking about filibustering any Democratic attempt put a check on George Bush's never-ending, and ill-considered, attempts to make matters even worse in Iraq.

Lieberman has every right to be an out of touch extremist. Even our president is one. But when the man stakes out positions that even make most Republicans cringe, it is time to stop talking about Lieberman as a moderate in any party.
