Lieberman: We will never lose the war

In an exclusive interview with conservative personality Hugh Hewitt, Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT), formerly a Democrat, responded to the latest report about all the political setbacks in Iraq by claiming that the surge is working:

HH: If you read John Burns in the New York Times, it seems to be working.

JL: Right. Absolutely right. Look, there is a gap between the realwar that’s being fought in Iraq and the political war over the war inIraq that’s being fought here in Washington. And very often, thestatements in the debate here have very little to do with the realityon the ground. Every indication, really remarkably, when you thinkabout the fact that there just the full complement of troops about amonth ago for the surge, it’s showing tremendous results.

Lieberman believes the US "will never lose the war":

JL: Look,the American military, working together with coalition forces includingIraqis, will never lose the war in Iraq. I just can’t stress thatenough.

HH: Right.

JL: We will never lose the war in Iraq.

Connecticut voters, are you happy with what you got?  We would be one vote closer to ending this war if Ned Lamont had won last November.
