Lieberman's speech for McCain and against Obama

Whatever your politic, Republican guests on CNBC's Chris Matthews segment today claim that Sen. Lieberman is as maverick as John McCain and that both put Country over Party and politic. I think that statement is true in part for John McCain but not Joe Lieberman. Joe puts the State of Israel above the United States every time there is a choice. That is Lieberman's reason for supporting McCain and the only reason.

President Bush deliberately misleads us again on Iran

I saw excerpts from Bush's News conference yesterday as Chris Matthews of Hardball was focusing on the National Intelligence report over Iran and that they posed no immediate threat to us. Chris had Sen. Joe Biden react to the President's news conference remarks. Most of the media was "surprised" how Bush doesn't see any change in his policy as a result of the findings in the report that Iran had stopped its Nuclear program back in 2003. This assessment was the summary of 16 Intelligence agencies of our government. Bush was in his usual State of Denial. It is him in his most familiar and comfortable role. We should not be surprised at all. Instead we should realize who we elected as President and not make that mistake again or next time we may never recover.

Senator Biden was terrific and serious as Chris asked him about his recent comments about impeachment of the President if he attacked Iran. He stood by his comments, as he said, the President's power does not extend to invading a country without authorization from Congress and that he would lead the charge for impeachment.

I don't understand why Senator Biden hasn't had better traction with voters in this Primary Season. He knows Foreign policy better than any candidate running for President. He is also a Constitutional expert, as he teaches classes on Constitutional law.

UPDATE: Frank Rich, NY Times, says casualty numbers manipulated during Chris Matthews "Hardball" show.

Frank Rich, NY Times reporter, was on Chris Matthews last night. He is sharp and willing to write the truth, as he has done many times. What pleased me yesterday about MSNBC's Hardball was that for the first time Rich said that the Administration is playing with the numbers for both U.S. and Iraqi casualties and they have been for some time.

This issue for me has been the subject of several of my posts in the past 4 months. It was encouraging to hear the same from Frank Rich's mouth. Now, if we can get them to print an article on the topic, we might raise more awareness as to the lengths this Administration is willing to go to twist the facts and lie about conditions in this war of choice in Iraq. When the transcript for Hardball comes out tonight I will update this post with his actual comments. Stay tuned.

UPDATE Sept.6th.

As promised above, here is the text from yesterday's Chris Matthews Hardball show where Frank Rich is answering a question from Chris.

RICH: Well, I agree with you (Chris). Part of it is there‘s not enough fact checking by the press. There‘s so many erroneous statements being thrown out there, including right now about what‘s going on with casualties in Iraq, both American and civilian. Very little of it is fact checked. It becomes a cloud of sort of disinformation, and that‘s been true since the hyping of the WMDs before we went in.
