Democratic presidential candidate Joe Lieberman unleashed a torrent of attacks Wednesday, but this time, not all were directed at President Bush.
A centrist in an increasingly liberal party, Lieberman defends his support for war against Iraq, and calls the anti-war rhetoric of his opponent,
former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean , as the talk of an unelectable dove.
"I don't believe the American people are going to elect for president in 2004, post 9/11, in an unsettled world, a candidate who has been opposed to
the use of military power against a brutal dictator like Saddam Hussein," he said.
Lieberman himself faults Bush with not gaining enough international support to finish the job of bringing freedom to Iraq, but he said his opponents'
accusations discredit only themselves.
"When you constantly criticize the war, even after it's over, even after the world is so much safer with Saddam Hussein gone and the people of Iraq
have a chance for a better life, you send a message of softness on defense," he said.
