Is Lieberman Sane?

After all the debacles, after losing the democratic nomination, after all the support our President bs, Lieberman lets fly with this as reported in the Financial Times:

“I think we’ve got to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq,” Mr Lieberman told CBS. “And to me that would include a strike over the border into Iran, where we have good evidence that they have a base at which they are training these people to kill our soldiers.”

“By some estimates, [Iranian-trained Iraqis] have killed as many as 200 American soldiers,” Mr Lieberman said. “Well, we can tell them we want them to stop that. But . . . we can’t just talk to them. If they don’t play by the rules, we’ve got to use our force. And to me that would include taking military action to stop them from doing what they’re doing.”

This guy beats the fuck out of me as well.

As cynical as I can get, he never ceases to surprise.
