Once again… the former democrat, Joe Lieberman (I-Connecticut) was the only democrat, or former democrat, to have enough courage to stand up and condemn Nancy Pelosi for her disastrous and controversial trip to Syria this week.
HotAir and Think Progress have video.
Here is the transcript from CNN:
BLITZER: What about Senator Lieberman? What do you think?
LIEBERMAN: I respectfully and strongly disagree with Arlen Specter and with Nancy Pelosi. I believe her visit to Syria was a mistake, that it was bad for the United States of America and good for the Syrians. And I say this because Syria — we’re in a war. We’re in a war against the Islamist terrorists who attacked us on 9/11/01. Syria is a state sponsor of terrorism.
BLITZER: But they had nothing to do with 9/11.
You have to love that typical leftist question by Wolf. It shows the absolute ignorance of democrats in understanding the radical Islamofascist enemy we are battling.
It’s shocking that for the Left (and Islamofascists) Bush is still enemy number one.
Joe Lieberman nails the question anyway…
LIEBERMAN: They have — let me tell you what they have got to do with what we’re into now. The Bashar Assad Syrian government has allowed terrorists and arms to flow across its country into Iraq that are being used to kill Americans today.
Syria has been implicated in the assassination of a very strong, popular Lebanese prime minister, Rafik Hariri. Syria is supporting Hezbollah which is trying to unseat our ally, Siniora, in Lebanon. Syria is supporting the terrorist group Hamas against our allies in the Fatah Palestinian movement and, of course, Israel. The administration, in all fairness — people in Washington should know, if they don’t know, that the administration has been trying in many ways, in diplomatic discussions with Syria since 9/11, to get Assad to change his behavior and he has not. When Nancy Pelosi goes there, she sends a message of disunity. She legitimizes the Syrian government.
It looks like the Speaker’s trip has cost her a lot of political capital.
