The hard-charging senator from Wisconsin swatted down Sen. Joe Lieberman’s claim that pulling out of Iraq would only embolden future would-be plane-bombing terrorists: ?Joe is showing with that regrettable statement that he doesn?t get it. He doesn?t get it.”

This morning on ABC?s This Week, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) responded to Lieberman?s remarks. ?Joe is showing with that regrettable statement that he doesn?t get it. He doesn?t get it,? Feingold said. Watch it:
