The title of the post is: Lieberman Shows His True Colors. But it goes much further...

From Booman Tribune

" Just out of curiosity, I went back this morning and re-read Franklin Delano Roosevelt's speech to the nation after the attack on Pearl Harbor. I was looking, in particular, for any appeal to fear. I was looking for any demonization of the enemy, any accusations that they were 'evil'. I was looking to see what he appealed to in order to rally the nation for what would be our greatest struggle as a nation. I didn't find anything that resembled the bullshit that Joe Lieberman is spewing."

"You know what? He just said this, "The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation." That is how things stood on September 12, 2001. We didn't need George W. Bush to explain to us that, "Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger." We understood that. All we required was an explanation for who attacked us, why we were attacked, and how we might dissuade people from attacking us again."

Compare that to Bush.

"We quickly learned that the terrorists were natives of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. All of these countries are formally allied with the United States and have been allied with us dating back to the Cold War. Clearly, we were dealing with a political statement about our relationship with the rulers of those nations."

"But we were not told this. Instead, we were told that we were attacked because these 'folks' hate our freedom. That was the first betrayal. The second betrayal was suggesting that Saddam Hussein had anything to do with 9/11, or that regime change in Iraq would matter to dissident groups in Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia."
