He Was For Questioning Bush Before He Was Against It

More on Joe Lieberman, the flip-flopper...

Sen. Lieberman this past Wednesday:

"It’s time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be the commander in chief for three more critical years and that in matters of war we undermine presidential credibility at our nation’s peril."

And what he said in July 2003, as he prepared his Presidential bid:

"In our democracy, a president does not rule, he governs. He remains always answerable to us, the people. And right now, the president’s conduct of our foreign policy is giving the country too many reasons to question his leadership. It’s not just about 16 words in a speech, it is about distorting intelligence and diminishing credibility. It’s not about searching for scapegoats; it’s about seeing, as President Kennedy did after the Bay of Pigs, that presidents stand tall when they willingly accept responsibility for mistakes made while they are in charge."

Hmmm... I liked that Joe better. Donald Rumsfeld, give him back please.
