Independent Democrat = Republican Pawn
In the immediate aftermath of the announcement of the arrests of suspects allegedly planning a major airline hijacking in the coming weeks, Joe Lieberman, "Independent Democrat" issued this statement (NY Times):
If we just pick up like Ned Lamont wants us to do, get out by a date certain, it will be taken as a tremendous victory by the same people who wanted to blow up these planes in this plot hatched in England...It will strengthen them, and they will strike again.
A coordinated assault yesterday by the republican party - against the democrats. And there's Joe leading the charge. The administration had prior knowledge that the British were about to make a major arrest, and the republicans are nothing if not ruthless on the attack and unflinching in the exploitation of terrorism for their political gain.It explains the unusual Tony Snow press conference to comment on the primary in Connecticut on Wednesday morning. It explains several republicans giving press conferences or issuing statements in recent days that dovetail perfectly with the news. And they have no fear that the public will catch on to them. Why should they? It's worked in the past.
