This morning on ABC’s Good Morning America, former President Bill Clinton explained Sen. Joseph Lieberman& position on invading Iraq is the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld position, and one that nearly all progressives disagree with. Clinton characterized the Lieberman position as: I want to attack Iraq whether or not they have weapons of mass destruction Watch it.

According to a recent World Public Opinion Poll, 71 percent of Americans said that the US should not have gone to war if Iraq did not have WMD, while just 27 percent said that the US should still have gone to war with Iraq for other reasons.
H.L.s Take:
I said here after Bill campaigned for Lieberman that he did it not to help Lieberman, but to bury him. Lieberman will lose lots of Republican votes because Clinton made a speech for him. Now that Lieberman is no longer a democrat, Bill can really open up on him. One thing though. Bill could have called it the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Hilary position. It has been said that Hilary won’t change her stance on the war now, because that would open up a firestorm of rightwing criticism, but if she waits until after she gets the nomination, then she can change her stand on Iraq…But will she get the nomination if she keeps up this Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Hilary position, we will have to wait and see.
