The Man Who Loves Dictators….
…Endorses Ned Lamont. Isn't that special? Jimmy Carter, who never passes up a chance to cozy up to a dictator and endorse him, has come out four-square for Ned Lamont.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Democrat Ned Lamont said Wednesday the U.S. is weaker because of the war in Iraq backed by rival Sen. Joe Lieberman, and he called for shifting forces to Afghanistan and elsewhere.
"We have sacrificed our daughters and sons and our treasure in a war we didn't have to fight," Lamont said. "We have ignored the real threats and security needs in the war we should be fighting, the one against the terrorists. … Senator Lieberman believes that President Bush has it right in Iraq. I believe that he's dangerously wrong."
The Democrat, who upset the three-term Lieberman last month in Connecticut's Democratic primary, spoke at Yale Law School — Lieberman's alma mater. Lamont received a degree from Yale School of Management. After the defeat, Lieberman embarked on an independent bid in hopes of holding onto his seat.
Lamont's campaign got a boost Wednesday from former President Carter, who offered a blistering critique of Lieberman's support for the Iraq war. "He was one of the originators of public statements that misled the American people into believing that the Iraqi war was justified," the former Democratic president said on CNN's "Larry King Live."
"He's joined in with the Republican spokespersons by saying that Democrats who disagree are really supporting terrorism," Carter said. "So for all these reasons, I've lost my confidence in Joe Lieberman and don't wish to see him re-elected."
So, a precipitous pullout from Iraq, leaving the terrorists a free hand to commit genocide. There's a great legacy for the US. And the endorsement of a man who started the whole ball rolling for the rise of Islamism to boot! Hell, this all makes sense!
There's a catchy new slogan for the Lamont folks in here somewhere.
