Risk is not over

Iraq was being bombed and sanctioned throughout the 90s under a democratic President while nobody was paying attention.

People who say "risk is over" are the same idiots who tried to say Bush should liberate Iran in 2003 and Iran is about to have a revolution for the past 25 years. We didn't listen to them back than and we don't listen to them now. They know noting of Iran and its security.

That's probably the most intelligent response to the issue of saying no.

Obama is also asking that Lieberman stay with the Democrats.

Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.

Oh and about that "Jewish Currency" of Lieberman's.....

It is way overspent and then some. The Jewish mammas and poppas rejected that guy overwhelmingly. Go away Joe!

lieberman is a conniving a-hole

he used barack to campaign for him in connecticut, but when it came time to return the favor, he was stabbing obama with in the back. I wonder if obama has returned those knives yet.

What Are The "Right" Reasons?

I'm sure there are many reasons people have not to like Joe Lieberman.

In fact Iran would want a guy like Liberman, an obviously pro war guy. IRI got all their power when the rest of the "civilized west", was ganging on her during the Iran-Iraq war. Iran will stand or fall based on her own defenses. Obama is only a single person and is not going to change the "civilized west". I think he will stay influential whether he is the chairman (likely) or not.

We don't live in IRI and we should try to shake off the old habits of telling people what to do when we don't agree with them. We should all try and be an example for the type of freedom we'd like to live in. 

I am not an IRI supporter but I don't like Lieberman either. Would you allow me to speak against him then or not?

Ok... interesting.

I too did not open the link for the reasons ID stated.  I'll go back and check it out.  I think you're making sense in all that you're saying.  But I wonder if the backlash could be worse than keeping him close and in line.  I definitely think he should be kicked off Homeland Security.  And that seems to be HIS sticking point.  But hasn't he been an asset for the most part?  IF you can get past his recent betrayal, and that's a big IF, couldn't he serve better from within.  Or is that the problem... he needs to be out... as in taken out...lol.

Abarmard, his position is not only relevant, it is very important too, I believe.

AW, for the reasons that my blog and the link I provided indicate.

Also, Lieberman has been disgraced by American voters more than once, but with a quick infusion of capital from NY and a trick of Republicans to send a vote-breaker into office he got his last election. At the present, his vote really doesn not have any worth for Democrats, and if it did, he would not use it in line with them, as he has shown that in important issues such as war he is always with the most backward neo-conservative republicans. 

And, frankly, Obama at one point must show some independent character, rather than yeilding to pressure and excusing himself for being "pragmatic" on all accounts. He already did too much prior to election by his statements on the status of Jerusalem, and by not standing publically against Islamophobia like he did to racists. Powell was much more honorable on that account.

Post election, many people would expect more of him than what they accepted of him for pragmatic reasons.

anti-anti, I should have your email to play with your mind a bit, just for the fun of it.

Stop spreading IRI position on this site. American's will decide what to do by themselves and they don't need you as a cheer leader.

Irandokht, thanks for the question!

Actually I don't like to give my information for any site either. I should have made it clear that you can just click at the bottom of the page on "vote count", which gives you the information of the members who decide on the matter and their vote.

I did not know the names to contact myself, and I found the information useful.

I found the website itself from an article I read in Salon.com, and will use it only to get info, not vice versa! Thanks for making it clear for the readers.

The risk of war against Iran is over!

I don't think Obama should make an enemy of Lieberman.

Those who want him out care more about the IRI than the what's good for the US.

He is irrelevant

He is not an important figure and general population does not align themselves with him. The system will push him a side but honorably. One may not remain the party of the wind forever.

Just say no to Loserman

This idiot has been in the pocket of AIPAC all his life.

Just say no. He should not be appointed to anything that would affect the lives of  innocent human beings.

xerexes: How should the

xerexes: How should the supporters of the IRI be treated?? They should be prosecuted as accomplices of the most treasonous, anti-Iranian government Iran has ever had!

Those scoundrels who support the IRI will not get away easily either.

I'm not sure about this...

I obviously need to do some more reading.  I did read this though.  I think Obama is trying to maintain for awhile... keep the status quo until he can really decide what he wants to do.  The party is almost forcing his hand.  On one hand, Lieberman needs to be punished.  But Obama wants to keep him in the caucus.  Lieberman says he'll quit if he loses the chairmanship of HS.  You've heard the term "keep your friends close and your enemies closer".  Can Lieberman help or hurt more within the party or out?  It's in interesting topic.

I would appreciate hearing your opinions on WHY you want him out.

Thanks!!!!!

Joe Lieberman

Should be prosecuted as traitor to the US government. he works directly and shamelessly for the Israeli regime.

anti-anti

Apparently you don't "despise" Lieberman for the right reasons, or you wouldn't be changing your mind!

Maybe you should read more about him and his stance so far and make an educated decision instead of an emotional one.

Best!

Jaleho, what are you going

Jaleho, what are you going to do about this one?

I despised Lieberman until today when I read the leading IRI's apologists plea to oust the guy.

I totally agree with this

I totally agree with this idea and want to say NO to Lieberman too, but since this link requires personal information in order to send the letter, I'd like to know who's sponsoring this effort.

Thanks
