Don Imus endorsed Joe Lieberman in 2006 and gave him endless valuable airtime. Yet when Imus tried to get a straight answer from Lieberman about his  "Plan B" for Iraq after escalation fails, he had to pull Lieberman's teeth. After several references to prayer, Lieberman finally offered his plan: "a series of catastrophes that ends up in victory for one side."

Yeah, well, you know, we will then look at the situation and decide what we can do, and the alternatives are limited here. The other alternatives–the main alternative that the opponents of what the President has done are offering is to simply begin to withdraw. And the theory there is that somehow if you with– I mean some people want to withdraw because they just want to get out. They think the thing–They want to give up. They think the thing is not winnable. I'm afraid they don't agree with me that the consequences of pulling out would be a disaster for everybody, including most important, us. But some say if you begin to withdraw, then Maliki and the other Iraqis will say 'Oh, my God, they're leaving. We got to get our act together. I don't think so. I think what is more likely is that the Iraqi politicians will begin to hedge their bets, and the militias and the Al Qaeda terrorists will just hold back until the day we're gone, and then chaos will break out, and unfortunately as McCain says, we'll probably be back there in a larger war, you know, two, three, four, five years from now. I think this is our chance, so I'd guess I'd say to you in war–There's a famous old saying that war is a series of catastrophes that ends up in victory for one side, and right now I'd say this plan is the best next step we've got. Let's hope it works, pray it works, and if it doesn't, then we'll figure out what we're gonna do then.

If that's the best plan Lieberman can offer, it's time for Democrats to cut funding NOW.

Update 1: BarbinMD reports Lieberman will help Republicans filibuster any resolution against the Escalation. She also catches him lying about three Democratic alternatives. He wants 35,000 troops, not 21,500. And his arrogance and contempt for voters is limitless:

And what about the fact that more than 60% of Americans oppose this escalation?  

SEN. LIEBERMAN: Yeah. Look, it’s very – this is very troubling in many ways. I do think that because of the mistakes that have been made in the prosecution of the war, because of the fact that this is an unconventional war in which people – what they see on television at night or hear about on the radio or read in the newspapers are the suicide bombings. And in matters of national security, ultimately two things: one is elected leaders have a responsibility to do what they think is right for the country and the future of the country and not to play to public opinion.

No one "played to public opinion" more than Lieberman during the 2006 campaign when he promised to end the war as soon as possible. Go fuck yourself, Holy Joe.
