Clinton Issues Smackdown To LIEberman

Former President Bill Clinton gave a complete smackdown to Joementum saying Lieberman’s position on the Iraq war is the “Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld position.” Appearing on ABC’s Good Morning America, he also went on to describe Lieberman's position on the Iraq war as: “I want to attack Iraq whether or not they have weapons of mass destruction.” Transcript below: JAKE TAPPER: Joe Lieberman said that this was basically liberals in the party purging moderates such as him and you out of the party, and that there needs to be a voice for more moderate national security voices. CLINTON: Well, if I were Joe and I were running as an independent that’s what I’d say, too. But that’s not quite right. That is, there were almost no Democrats who agreed with his position, which was I want to attack Iraq whether or not they have weapons of mass destruction. And his position was the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld position.ollows: Regarding the way the administration has tried to politicize the London terror threat, he said: The Republicans should be very careful in trying to play politics with this London airport thing, because they're going to have a hard time with the facts. They seem to be anxious to tie it to al Qaeda. … If that's true, how come we got seven times as many troops in Iraq as in Afghanistan? "Why have we imperiled President [Hamid] Karzai's rule and allowed the Taliban to come back into the southern part of Afghanistan? Why was Iraq deemed to be seven times more important than finding the al Qaeda leaders for the last five years?" Oh how I wish a man with this intelligence occupied the White House instead of the total imbecile that's there now. The entire interview is available in an exclusive interview at ABC News
