Lieberman Rattles His Saber at YemenPosted on Dec 28, 2009
Ever vigilant in his attention to potential terrorist attacks on the United States these days (read: during President Barack Obama’s tenure), Joe Lieberman hailed the “miracle on Christmas Day” aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 253 and warned that Yemen may be the site of “tomorrow’s war.” The senator made the comments on last weekend’s “Fox News Sunday.” —KA Watch Lieberman’s appearance on “Fox News Sunday” below:

When did the word “Jew” disappear from our vocabulary? Rahm Emanuel is a Jew. Kissinger was a Jew.

Immediately sanction Israel, withdraw all U.S. foreign aid billions going to that hellhole (gosh I thought foreign aid was for third world countries) and force AIPAC to register as foreign agents. This is the only language the ratbastard Lieberman understands.

Lieberman can say that because 99.99% of congress people may think exactly like him.
He can say without any fear or doubts that yemen will be next war because, in the main, he means to say US wld unleash yet another terror.
As i have said before, a war, to earn such a label, must be met with tanks, artilery, warships, jets, soldiers. We may call such an violent encounter a “war”.
So, once again, a terror act by US but no warfare; just like in afpak, iraq, and palestine.
Ruling class in US ?never ever waged a war. It had been always actions to defend US interests.
Recall that cutting germaay to its proper size or size approved by US in april ‘17 and ‘43 also represented defense of US Greatness and its interests.
And since US had not ?ever been in a war, it cldn’t have and cannot now or in future win or lose a war
On the level of terrorrism, we obtain an entirely diferent picture: in all US terrors, US emerged a ‘winner’.
Not, of course, many innocemt US soldiers or their families. And as long as US keeps winning- and being governed much like a mafioso, biker, or street gang- why wld the cosa nostra stop doing what it cherishes to do: defend own interests; by violence, of course.
I suggest we cease talking ab US winning-losing wars in afpak, palestine, or iraq. And especially since we ?all know, win or loss, mistake or no mistake, right or wrong of it all will as always before decided by hired scribes.

“Obviously hindsight is 20/20.” Not with these guys. Hindsight is a completely propagandized distortion. The truth is something to fabricate. They can only spout lies and the belief in them. I can’t even listen to this Liebermann: such a simplistic mind. More wars is his solution to all the wars. Connecticut is Yankee territory … how did this guy get elected from there? I just can’t believe it. He’s made being Jewish into a sin. He must have to take a pill everyday to be himself. This is so laughably a patsy set up, so transparent. Why did the plane’s wall and ceiling catch fire? Was there an accelerant sprayed on it? Doesn’t that smell? Was it in a shampoo bottle? Al Queda my ass. Where is this crusade Bush II and the CIA started supposed to end. Does Liebermann know nothing of history? I say he is under alien mind control like all the rest of the CIA and the “deciders”. Sharp dressed man, indeed.

First question you have to ask is why Lieberman has not lost his chairmanship job in the senate?
Could it be because he did the dirty work in rewriting the rendition bill so Obama could continue doing Bush’s work?
Could it be that the Obama ( Who got 15+ million $‘s of insurance and medical company contributions) Did not want single payer health care passed and Joe was called in again to do the dirty work?
But Joe, how are they going to justify more money for submarines ( built in Connecticut )for a war in Yemen?
Also, Joe you better pick another country as Yemen is running out of Oil.
The biggest threat to the survival of our country is not from alien terrorists but from our own corporate controlled government.

Joe Lieberman is evil…. And because he’s Jewish no one has the guts to call him out…. Only another Jew can do that and that ain’t about to happen…
And Pete Hoekstra is just as evil as Lieberman… I used to live in that shill’s district… I swear to god the cheap little bastard made more trips to Israel than the county I lived in…. On his web site are pictures of him and his cheap wife in Israel laughing it up…. There were not any pictures of him in my county….
Let’s stop the bullshit and face the sad reality that America is now not a country but a colony of Israel…
It’s all over but the shouting sheeple of America…

Joe Lieberman has been a buffoon for years, the only thing that invading Yemen would do is stretch the American military past the breaking point. It is clear that the American response to terrorism has less to do with actually addressing the problem than it does with using the “crisis” to limit civil liberties and expand defense budgets.
Until we actually address the problems of religious extremism, in all the Abrahamic faiths, the injustice and violence of our own society and stop supporting unworkable solutions to intractable problems of governance and militarism in the Middle East, terrorism will be with us.
Joe Lieberman is a lackey of AIPAC, the insurance industry and the “military industrial complex.” He is a caricature of corruption and self interest with little hope of reelection, unless he can stir up enough hatred and fear to mask his egregious failings as a Senator.
Letting Joe lieberman drive any discussion relating to national security is pandering to the worst sort of Jingoism. “Ignore Joe Lieberman,” should be a national movement and I propose to start now.

Why is Lieberman always so eager to spend the U.S. taxpayer’s money toward preemptive wars, but never willing to spend our money toward preemptive healthcare for the taxpayers. What a hypocrite this man Lieberman is.

One thing we can do to act Preemptively is withdraw all the Special Operations,
Report thisGreen Berets, and Intelligence in Yemen. But I guess Lieberman just thinks this is
about them being jealous of us and has absolutely nothing to do with United
States militarism. What a goon. He’ll make a fine president someday in hell.

hello. cia/mosad; spooks in jails and zoos? anywho, this Senator is in so much trouble he has to grab the military straw for hope in his own future, but people in Connecticut say he is without a prayer. that the f rumpled celebrity is encouraging more misguided militarism, only illustrates his own lack of economic ability or desire for his country, and the Lieber is only following the lead of the peace prize recipient. this news is so inconsequential i needed you to notice, or would never have known how desperate the Lieber has become.

Last week we hear all about the bombs raining down on Yemen and complaints about “Iran-backed Shia Terrorist Cells” (lol). Then we heard DHS lamenting the lax airport security and whining that every plane should have air marshals on it. Now FauX news is pumping tazer-ID-bracelets. But don’t worry, all of these events are unconnected.
But wait, it gets so much better:
From http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/12/26/airline.attack/index.html :
1. The boy’s father had called the authorities weeks before to warn that “he has become radicalized”.
2. The father was the retired chairman of one of Nigeria’s largest banks. (Banks==Spooks, since at least WWI)
3. Proof of patsyhood: the information was not deemed specific enough to get him on a no-fly list. Instead he was on a general watch list!!! Classic.
From http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2009/12/flight_253_passenger_says_at_l.html :
4. Two US lawyers (husband and wife) happened to be on the flight seven rows behind the “terrorist” and also saw how he was let aboard with no passport with the help of a “well dressed older man”.
5. “He didn’t fight back at all. This wasn’t a big skirmish,” Haskell said. “A couple guys jumped on him and hauled him away.” (Classic drugged patsy behavior).
6. About an hour after landing, Haskell said he saw another man being taken into custody. But a spokeswoman from the FBI in Detroit said Mutallab was the only person taken into custody.
From http://www.debbieschlussel.com/14303/epic-fail-terrorist-abdulmutallab-allowed-on-flt-253-wout-passport-bc-of-sharp-dressed-man/ :
7. This ultra-right woman has a hard-on for fighting Islam. Yet even she acknowledges that this is a failed false-flag media stunt:
8. The company that runs the security in Schipol Airport is Israeli. This was their call. They stand everything to gain from a stunt like this.
9. The unidentified, passport-less Muslim was ushered past all boarding security with the help of the well dressed older man. Since he had been searched and screened at the entry point to the terminal complex, it stands to reason his “bomb” (lol, rofl) was provided by the suited older accomplice.
From http://www.mlive.com/news/detroit/index.ssf/2009/12/wisconsin_family_on_flight_253.html :
10. Witnesses noticed that the entire “attempted bombing” (lol, rofl…) was being video taped by a man about 12 rows behind the scuffle (such as it was). The FBI was informed. Bet we never get to see this footage? Other witnesses state he filmed THE WHOLE FLIGHT FROM TAKEOFF TO LANDING!!!! Now “the FBI is looking for him intensely”. OMG! HA HA HA HA! This is too funny.
Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6V_Godcyq-s :
And after this fiasco, we have that wicked witch of 11. West, Homeland Security Chief Napolitano, telling us that “THE SYSTEM WORKED”. OMFG. Sure it worked. It worked for her, since she didn’t get summarily fired or worse.
12. We couldn’t get this idiot patsy on the bogus, illegal no-fly list yet 5-year olds, congressmen and quadriplegics routinely wind up on it for sundry reasons that include ideology, credit rating and random incompetence? And even once he’s on the general watch list (and decried as a brainwashed Jihadist by his father the national bank CEO!) we red-carpet him onto the flight without so much as a gentle frisking.
Thank you CIA/MOSAD for yet another badly executed false-flag terror scare. Sadly, the are one or two dopes left out there that may actually believe there was “an attack” on that day. On the bright side, spook-boys, you’re pablum-gobbling audience is a rapidly shrinking commodity. You better come clean while you still can. There are going to be a LOT of spooks in jails and zoos as the truth finally overwhelms the web of lies you have promulgated unchecked for so long. Now’s your chance.
