Not necessarily. Lieberman is at least as useful to the administration and Republicans as a symbol of extreme left-wingers having purportedly taken over the Democratic Party and proceeding to "purge" all those who support the Iraq war. Never mind that a significant majority of the American people agree with those "extreme left- wingers." Never mind that there are other Democrats who support the war who aren't being "purged." Never mind that the Iraq war has nothing to do with this terrorist plot having been busted. And never mind that most experts on terrorism think the Iraq war has made us *more* vulnerable to terrorism, not less. The Republican Party is desperate. Its only hope for 2006 (and 2008) is to try to make voters believe the Democrats are "soft" on national security. With regard to the timing, from the Washington Post today: "Some U.S. counterterrorism officials said plans originally were to allow the conspiracy to develop even further. But U.S. and British investigators made a sudden decision this week to close down the operation after they became increasingly worried that there were other bombers they had been unable to locate or identify, U.S. officials said." http://tinyurl.com/o7qse Uh-huh....
