    Hawks Need Hawks

    When Obama's bombs are raining down on the heads of men, women and children in Afghanistan, Pakistan or some other -stan, Lieberman's narcissism and bellicosity will be of considerable value to Barack, Joe and Rahm.

    In no time at all, Lieberman will be on any "news" program that will have him, droning moral imperatives - and questioning the wisdom, sanity and patriotism of radicals who oppose murdering foreigners and stealing their resources as a matter of policy.

    Sounds vaguely familiar, doesn't it?
