Joe Lieberman

Senators Marco Rubio and Joe Lieberman have an op-ed in today's Wall Street Journal, arguing for "the removal of the Gadhafi regime [in Libya] and, with it, the opportunity for the Libyan people to build a free and democratic society."

In addition to the boss's reaction to President Obama's Afghanistan drawdown speech, Max Boot's post at Commentary is worth reading:

Senator Joe Lieberman spoke last night at a Hudson Institute event, where he urged both political parties not to “retreat from the world.”

After hundreds of deaths of protesters at the hands of Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria, the U.S. "will impose sanctions on Syrian President Bashar Assad for human rights abuses on Wednesday," Reuters reports.

A bipartisan group of senators joined together yesterday to discuss a proposed Senate resolution on Syria, which would condemn the rogue regime and urge the Obama administration to act decisively.

Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman have just issued a joint statement on Libya. "We strongly support President Obama's declaration yesterday that Colonel Qaddafi must go," the senators say. "The President is correct that Qaddafi and those loyal to him – unleashing horrific violence against the Libyan people – have lost the legitimacy to remain in power, and we agree that the United States must consider the full range of options to stop the bloodshed taking place in Libya now."

In a joint statement, Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman, who are currently in Amman, Jordan, issued a press weigh in on the recent events in Libya. “We are appalled by what appear to be crimes against humanity occurring in Libya,” McCain and Lieberman say. “The Qaddafi regime's ongoing slaughter and oppression is deplorable and must end.”

Senator Joe Lieberman delivered a speech today at an AIPAC event, speaking primarily about Egypt. Here are key excerpts (full text below):

Bill Kristol suggested yesterday that Joe Lieberman would be an appropriate pick for Secretary of Defense. Today, John McCain endorsed the idea. Politico reports:

The announcement this week that both Kent Conrad and Joe Lieberman will not be seeking reelection is a stark reminder of how polarized American politics is today, as well as why it has gotten that way.

Several people have e-mailed to ask why Joe Lieberman is (apparently) going to announce tomorrow that he won’t be running for re-election to the Senate.

Senator Joe Lieberman, the independent from Connecticut who caucuses with the Democrats, will announce his plans for 2012 tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. in Stamford, Connecticut. Earlier today Connecticut's Democratic secretary of state Susan Bysiewicz announced that she will seek the Democratic Senate nomination. It's anyone's guess whether Lieberman will announce his retirement tomorrow or plans to seek reelection--and, if so, whether he'll run as an independent or on a party ticket.
