I admitted I have disagreed with Lieberman on many things, but I admire him for standing on principle.

'naive' to Lieberman means Obama is not telling him what he wants to hear. What would most likely make Lieberman happy and put him squarely in Obama's camp would be if Obama said that he would nuke Iran, Syria, Lebanon and send troops in to force all Palestinians out of Jeruselem and into the desert. That, in my opinion, would make Obama less 'naive' to Lieberman. Just my opinion.

I believe he’s naïve to think that people like [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad and Tehran will somehow become America’s friends by talking to them — a warm embrace and a cup of tea. It’s not going to work that way,” said Lieberman

Quite so! Here's what Lieberman had to say:

I believe he’s naïve to think that people like [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad and Tehran will somehow become America’s friends by talking to them — a warm embrace and a cup of tea. It’s not going to work that way,” said Lieberman

Thing is, Obama never said about warm embrace or anything, but simply referred to diplomatic channels. So Lieberman is lying through his teeth. He's in the camp of radical Jews and anything but that would sound "naive" to him. What a POS.

Case in point, Lieberman presented a distorted and frankly, nonsensical intepretation of Obama's views on Iran
