  • Lieberman Implies Syria Connected to 9-11

    Lieberman added, “I say this because we’re in a war. We’re in a war against the Islamic terrorists who attacked us on 9-11-01.” CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer responded, “But they had nothing to do with 9-11.” Lieberman dodged the issue and changed topics.

  • John McCain: It's Funny When I Lie About Iraq

    “Of course I’m gonna misspeak,” McCain said. “I’ve done it on numerous occasions. And I probably will in the future.

    Harper’s got together a quartet of military experts to examine the eternal question: Could it happen here?
