Lieberman explains

About what exactly, I'm not sure. Something about his declaration of war with Iran. Do you think he's getting just a little bit of heat?

Greg Sargent at TPM Cafe:
Lieberman addressed the question of whether the military is strapped:

"We have a mighty military."

He sought to reassure his listeners that he doesn't envision all-out war with Iran:

"I'm not talking about any massive land invasion of Iraq. I'm not talking about any bombing of civilian areas."

He addressed the question of whether hostilities with Iran might have adverse consequences (our favorite):

"So what I'm saying is, if we knock out a base of theirs, if we have to do that, at which they're training these terrorists, yes, they may respond. But look, they're already on the move against us, and they're killing people as a result of it. I hope this is not necessary."

Hahaha!! Not-for-prophet, indeed. Well done, Steve!

Thank you, Leon, for your concern, but I have no desire to be shot up into the sky. I'm going to hang out with wonderful people like Steve which will be delightful.

False prophets, signs and wonders etc. Thanks anyway.
