Tragically

Atrios has already declared his wanker of the day. This strikes me as premature until you verify Joe Lieberman hasn't written an editorial sanction by either Fred Hiatt or James Taranto. And today the latter has stamped Joe's rubber ducky of logic a "go"!

Iran's Proxy War
Tehran is on the offensive against us throughout the Middle East. Will Congress respond?

Oh jiminy be-dazzler usin' Jeebus!

I hope the new revelations about Iran's behavior will also temper the enthusiasm of some of those in Congress who are advocating the immediate withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. Iran's purpose in sponsoring attacks on American soldiers, after all, is clear: It hopes to push the U.S. out of Iraq and Afghanistan, so that its proxies can then dominate these states. Tehran knows that an American retreat under fire would send an unmistakable message throughout the region that Iran is on the rise and America is on the run. That would be a disaster for the region and the U.S.

The threat posed by Iran to our soldiers' lives, our security as a nation and our allies in the Middle East is a truth that cannot be wished or waved away. It must be confronted head-on. The regime in Iran is betting that our political disunity in Washington will constrain us in responding to its attacks. For the sake of our nation's security, we must unite and prove them wrong.

Thank goodness you were there Joe to ensure their victory, for without this glorious clusterfuck you love more than whining-itself Iran would not have won. In fact, our glorious stupidity, that you enabled, brought forth the crazy-man in the members only jacket. Naturally, your wisdom now is unimpeachable...just like your beloved Chimp.

And just for that extra emphasis.
