Or in English, the goof.
His latest comments about Obama' s visit to and stance on Iraq per his blather on Fox News shows how far he will lean backwards to make a smearing fool of himself.
Lieberman: Obama choosing to lose Iraq warDemocratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama is choosing to lose the Iraq war by planning to withdraw American combat troops, a high-profile supporter of Republican candidate Sen. John McCain said Sunday.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a Democrat-turned-independent from Connecticut, said McCain's support for bolstering U.S. forces in Iraq last year to subdue insurgents has made Obama's expected visit to Iraq this week possible.
"John McCain had the guts to argue against public opinion, to put his whole campaign on the line, because, as he says, he'd rather lose an election than lose in a war that he thinks is this important to the United States," Lieberman said on "Fox News Sunday."
"If Barack Obama's policy in Iraq had been implemented, he couldn't be in Iraq today," Lieberman said, adding that Obama "was prepared to accept retreat and defeat."
Obama's expected arrival in Baghdad is part of a multi-country trip that included a Saturday stop in Afghanistan, where the Illinois senator says he would send more U.S. troops to bolster the fight against the Taliban and al Qaeda.
The remarks by Lieberman -- who ran for vice president as a Democrat in 2000 -- drew a sharp response from Sen. Evan Bayh, an Obama supporter who appeared with Lieberman on the show.
Obama's initial opposition to the 2003 invasion of Iraq "was right from the beginning," said Bayh, D-Indiana.
Lieberbush's comments are so silly. It's too late for Obama or anyone else to lose the Iraq War. Bush already lost it by starting it in the first place.
I hear you. I find Lieberman's comments not just silly but facile and mean-spirited.
