Lieberman is a tosser and his aggression towards Iran is predictable but it seems that he was putting out talking points with White House coordination (bear in mind he is supposedly of the opposing party, but is in reality a neo-con repub/Israeli sock puppet). The line he took of utter fabrication on Iraq and utter belligerence on Iran shows that either Cheney is winning the struggle to abandon diplomacy and attack or Lieberman is Cheney’s man over Bush and is part of Cheney’s drive to narrow Bush’s options down to simply an attack.
Cenk Uygur: We had Ned Lamont on the show earlier, and he thinks that Lieberman might be working with some people in the White House to coordinate a new PR strategy to try to pump up this idea of attacking Iran. Do you think there’s any chance that’s true?
Michael Hirsh: I think there is a chance that’s true because we know how close Lieberman has been to Bush and the White House. And it’s something that we in the media world need to be checking out.
