Kick him out !
He is not a competent legislator and in Homeland Security, he called the massacre at Fort Hood a terrorist attack. That is straight out of Murdoch's playbook, NOT, the USA military. Lieberman has more clout than the military?
Lieberman: Fort Hood Shooting Could Be 'Most Destructive Terrorist Act' Committed on U.S. Soil Since 9/11 (click here)
He had the nerve to use inflammatory language about the military? Worst since 911? Where does he 'get off' being confrontational to military investigations and exploiting violence for political propaganda? That is all that is, by the way. When one is pulling stunts out of the Murdoch playbook, it is propaganda and political grandstanding. No, Chairman of Homeland Security should be defaming the investigations our military, especially not in this case. I don't think so.
Maybe he should have waited for the CID report, at the very least. (click here)
There was no real indication the violence that would result. Nidal Hasan had everyone fooled. He just did.
...But Allen stopped short of criticizing the FBI (click here), saying that it is "extraordinarily stretched in working counterterrorism cases."...
Joe Liberman is NOT competent. The only way I can see my way clear of criticizing the USA military is if Lieberman and Homeland Security had reported suspicious activity BEFORE it occurred. That didn't happen. So, Lieberman has no grounds to state otherwise. He is simply, CYAing for his electorate. A sincere leader doesn't oppose the findings of career military that were doing the level best they could.

Good job, Connecticut, real good.

The citizens of Connecticut have ONE person to thank for raising their Health Care Insurance, AND, no one else.
President Obama stated, the nation needs a Public Option to compete with private industry. What is so difficult to understand now? Hm?
