Today’s Hartford Courant pits the current Lieberman position in the context of the recently released Rumsfeld memo(see link for full text). The key grafs:
Despite mounting pressure from both parties for a change in direction in Iraq, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman, D-Conn., said Sunday that withdrawing American forces would be a “statement of weakness.”“In the end, there has to be an Iraqi political settlement,” Lieberman told CBS’ “Face the Nation,” “but they can’t do it without security. And they can’t achieve security if we begin to withdraw.”
