"I appreciate many of the very good intentions to Israel and Israeli security that Senator Obama express today," said Lieberman. "I thought in the speech there was a disconnect between things Senator Obama said today, particularly in regard to Iran, and things he has said or done earlier either in the campaign or the Senate."
