Why Would Anyone Listen To Joe Lieberman?

Commentary By Ron Beasley

Senator Joseph Lieberman, (Zionist), Israel,  has decided that the Fort Hood Massacre is a terrorist act. 

Sen. Joe Lieberman called the Fort Hood massacre an act of "Islamist extremism" - even as top Army brass warned Sunday against guessing at a motive, fearing backlash against Muslim soldiers.

"There are very, very strong warning signs here that Dr. Hasan had become an Islamist extremist and, therefore, that this was a terrorist act," Lieberman (I-Conn) told Fox News on Sunday.

"If the reports that we're receiving of various statements he made, acts he took are valid, he had turned to Islamist extremism."

The Army disagrees:

Lieberman's comments were in stark contrast to U.S. Army chief of staff George Casey, who told CNN he's deeply worried "that the speculation could cause something that we don't want to see happen."

"It would be a shame - as great a tragedy as this was - it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well," Casey said.

The former Iraq war commander said on ABC that focusing on Hasan's religious roots might "heighten the backlash" against all Muslims serving in the armed forces.

It's Joe Lieberman who is the terrorist and the fact that he remains chairman of the Homeland Security Committee is inexcusable.

Not that I agree with Lieberman, but it doesn't seem the army guy refuted Lieberman as much as it seems Lieberman's comments caused army guy concern about fallout.

And there was the story (UK paper I think) of Hasan getting very muslimy at grand rounds.

Maybe fundamentally Islamic, or not. It looks like it sure could be rooted in Hasan's religion.

Gee, be nice to little Joey. He just wants to find a home as Secretary of State in the 2012 Republican administration. Right now [sob], he's homeless.
