Emboldening The Enemy

We knew this. Here is Robert Gates agreeing with Joe Lieberman's assertion that this stupid non-binding resolution of no faith in our military emboldens the enemy. When is Lieberman going to see the light that his party is anti-American and get out of it?

Here is a transcript of a debate between Joe Lieberman and Chuck Hagel on the troop surge and the non-binding resolution. It's hard to believe that the Republican is the one trashing the Commander-in-Chief and the Democrat is the one defending the efforts to win in Iraq. But...that's the way it is in this case. I'd trade Hagel for Lieberman in a heartbeat.

JASmius adds: Um, Lieberman isn't a Democrat anymore; and that's why. Beats me why he doesn't pull a Jim Jeffords in reverse and caucus with the GOP instead. It'd be the perfect revenge.

I guess Lieberman's is the loyalty of the Stepford wife. Which makes it a lot harder to respect him despite his stalwart patriotism, since he appears to have so little respect for himself.
