Joe Lieberman Already Planning To Invade Syria

Oh, look what you did. You gave Joe Lieberman precedent to invade pretty much any country on the planet under an authoritarian regime. He says it’s “consistent” to invade all these places. Well, he’s not wrong! Lieberman’s days may numbered, and he probably should be ignored by everybody at this point, but somehow we get the feeling he’s about to pull another war out of his jowls of defeat.

But before that happens, can we please send this arrogant warmonger to Libya to try his hand at killing Gaddafi? That should be the rule every time he wants to add another war onto what we’re already waging in the world. He’s a good military decision-maker, right? He seems to think so. We’re sure he’d last a very long time on the battlefield. [Hot Air]

Just as long as Lieberman's kids are in the first wave.

I thought Puerto Rico was our 51st state. Have we invaded them lately?

Fare la Volpe March 28, 2011 at 2:51 pm: Not nearly enough.
horsedreamer_1 March 28, 2011 at 2:56 pm: No, no, no — they've invaded us. Been to the Bronx, lately?

Are there any Muslim countries Lieberman doesn't want to bomb?

Saudi Arabia?

horsedreamer_1 March 28, 2011 at 2:39 pm

India?

tiredalways March 28, 2011 at 3:15 pm

Funny but don't ever tell a Hindu from India that India is Muslim country or you would be Jihaded before you know it :)

Ms Kami Quasimodo April 2, 2011 at 11:08 am: I know what you're trying to say, but "jihad" is a Muslim concept, not Hindu.

Fare la Volpe March 28, 2011 at 2:44 pm

Michigan?

Lionel[redacted]Esq March 28, 2011 at 3:25 pm: I was going to say Detroit, but, lets face it, Lieberman probably wants to bomb it also.

Better question…are there any countries that Lieberman doesn't want to bomb….not counting Israel of course.

memzilla March 28, 2011 at 2:27 pm

If we want to declare war on an authoritarian regime that oppresses its citizens and ignores the rule of law… let's start with Wisconsin.

Lionel[redacted]Esq March 28, 2011 at 3:26 pm

How much longer can we allow Rick Perry to carry out his reign of terror in Texas?

Lieberman’s initial statement, showing a change:

"It is consistent for the U.S. to attack all ~~Arabian~~ authoritarian governments…"

Next on the target list: Dearborn, Michigan

We only bailout countries if they're too Muslim to fail.

You have to hand it to him. He's showing restraint both in not suggesting Iran first and also in not calling Syria North Israel.

This is definitely good news for John McCain

SorosBot March 28, 2011 at 2:31 pm

War, huh, good god yall, what is good for? Absolutely everything, according to Joe and his best buddy John.

jus_wonderin March 28, 2011 at 2:44 pm: Doesn't WAR create jobs? I mean we got three of 'em going now. And isn't the Unemployment rate at like 2 percent or something?

Radiotherapy March 28, 2011 at 2:32 pm

Can't we just tuck these problems away in a closet?

Callyson March 28, 2011 at 3:16 pm: The closets of America are too crowded with Republican politicians and their rent boys.
Tundra Grifter March 28, 2011 at 3:40 pm: Tucked in the closet like a reporter at a Joe Biden fundraiser?

SheriffRoscoe March 28, 2011 at 2:32 pm

Can we bring back George "Dubya" Bush to give Lieberman a ten minute definition of the word "sovereign," where the only word he gets to use in the definition is the word he's trying to define? That would help me take my mind off a lot of this bullshit.

The only way I am going to agree with the LIEberman, is if his BFF John McCain comes back as a fighter pilot.

chicken_thief March 28, 2011 at 2:38 pm

He couldn't keep a plane in the air 40 yrs ago, what makes you think he's any better now?

PublicLuxury March 28, 2011 at 2:48 pm

That is my point. One less

Lascauxcaveman March 28, 2011 at 3:27 pm: But give him one that the flight tech has done an "oopsie" on the ejector seat.

Can't bomb Syria – there's no Beach Boys song to hawk it.

anniegetyerfun March 28, 2011 at 3:16 pm: I'm sure Toby Keith can come up with something.

Y'all done protested good
But the guvmint blasted your 'hood
And I think that war is great
Because I love promotin' hate
So…
We're gonna bomb Syrian asses
Turn their streets to molasses
Because al-Assad fired on your masses
We saw it in photographses
The USofA don't want to intervene
But you know how we like waggling our peen
So we'll bomb your asses tonight… for freedoms!
CthuNHu March 28, 2011 at 8:05 pm: Just say the word, ohhhhh. Sy-sy-syria … nope, doesn't cut it.

Sorry, Phil, you make lousy music to invade by.

"He’s a good military decision-maker, right?"

Can one simultaneously invade AND retreat?

arihaya March 28, 2011 at 2:39 pm

naaah that was just big talk, no way we gonna bomb Syria

Syria has no Oil

edgydrifter March 28, 2011 at 2:39 pm

To be fair, if my head looked like John Kruk's steroid-atrophied scrotum, I'd probably lash out at the entire world, too.

to hear Republicans correctly, they all say we have fifty-seven states, thanks to Obama's errancy.

The only reason Gates has stayed on is he is afraid Lieberman might be appointed in his place.

Hey now, some cocksuckers are really cool, and brave, and smart, and provide a valuable service to the community.

Lieberman's more like that College Humor girl who thinks blowjobs involve sandpaper and teeth.

I refuse to take anything Lieberman or other war hawks say seriously until they come out in favor of boots on the ground to promote regime change in Italy.

Plus it has the benefit of being a war that we know we can win, because we won it just 70 years ago.

chicken_thief March 28, 2011 at 3:50 pm: And the weather, women, food and wine, not necessarily in that order, are much better in Italy.

If by "wave" you mean being brushed lightly by a warm water jet in a hot tub somewhere watching FOX when the shit goes down, then this will certainly happen.

God gave Abraham and his descendents all the land from the Euphrates to the Nile. It's right there in the Good Book (Genesis 15:18). That land, aka Eretz Ysrael, includes Syria. The US is the ally of the children of Abraham. Therefore the US needs to do God's Work and take over Syria and give it to Joe Lieberman and the other children of Abraham, but not to Ishmael and his children, the A-rabs, cuz Ishmael was a bastard, who was born to Abraham's whore housemaid, Hagar, so he doesn't count. Now you understand the theology of all this, so stop whining.

anniegetyerfun March 28, 2011 at 5:32 pm: Ooooh. Logic.
zhubajie March 28, 2011 at 8:26 pm: Sounds like something a Texas representative might say on the floor of the House.

NorthStarSpanx March 28, 2011 at 4:59 pm

In the same way that spectacular losses at the ballot box hasn't seemed to dampen lucrative opportunities in pushing a conservative agenda for Joe Miller, Christine O'Donnell and Sharon Angle, I don't see Joe Lieberman's "retirement" being preferable to suffering his crazy-Juggernaut in the private sector.
