Why I Respect Joe Lieberman

Courtesy of NRO here is the text of the speech that Joe Lieberman delivered on the Senate floor. If ever there was a democrat that I would vote for in a presidential race, Joe Lieberman is it.

Sadly, his speech will largely fall on deaf ears. What we are witnessing in Congress is a monumental failure of will. Most in Congress lack the will to fight or to out-rightly quit, and the will to do anything but complain. What happened to the resolution and the unity after 9/11?

I believe we have a moral responsibility to finish what we started in Iraq. We also owe it to our soldiers to do what is reasonable and necessary to win. If we cannot find the fortitude to do that we should not be asking our soldiers to still be in harms way.
