Senator Sanctimony's insights

MANIFESTO

Fresh from a fact-finding trip to the Middle East, Holy Joe finds exactly what he was looking for.

Lieberman said America needs to step in and help the Libyan opposition ... The U.S. providing anti-aircraft, for example, might be in our country’s best interest, said Lieberman.

“Whatever it is, we’ve got to help and we gotta help in our interest because [get this] if Gaddafi survives, it’s going to be a message to dictators all around the world and places like Tehran [emphasis added] about how they can stay in power when the majority of their people want change,” said Lieberman.

... Lieberman says releasing oil from the U.S. strategic reserve [to reduce rising gasoline prices] is not appropriate since it’s fear driving the prices, not a shortage of supply.

Apparently, in the Senator's benighted view, fear can be discounted when it come to gas prices, but one can't be too careful regarding Libya and Iran.

January 2013 can't come soon enough.
