Anyone who still has their doubts, should ponder the case of Senator Joe Lieberman.
Lieberman, who you may recall was the man who once claimed a propos of the drug-smuggling terror group the KLA:
"[The] United States of America and the Kosovo Liberation Army stand for the same human values and principles ... Fighting for the KLA is fighting for human rights and American values."
Lieberman was also a strong supporter of military action against Iraq. Yet in last year's Senate election, Lieberman, as Michael Tomasky relates in his excellent Guardian piece, repeatedly told voters that "no one wants to end the war in Iraq more than I do,". A year after getting elected, Lieberman is talking like the authentic neocon hawk he is, praising the 'surge' and calling for the bombing of Iran. Lieberman holds the Democrat's Senate majority in his hands; his election effectively means the death of hundreds more American soldiers than would otherwise have been the case.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there will never be any peace in the world until warmongering neo-cons like Lieberman are removed from all positions of power.
And those who believe that if Al Gore had won the Presidency in 2000 things might have been a whole lot different ought to bear one thing in mind.
The KLA-loving, Shock and Awe enthusiast Joe Lieberman was his running mate.
UPDATE: Here's more on Lieberman's duplicity from David Sirota in the Huffington Post.

How, and what if their replacements are not 'social conservatives' like Bush?
Neil:
I hope you would write about the KLA, I trust your reasonable arguments. but difficult to understand your stance from the KLA as a western agents after what the Serbs did in Kosovo and Bosnia!
Unless you know something we don't.

What did the Serbs do in Kosovo and Bosnia, apart from get the s**t bombed out of them by NATO bombers who were supporting Neo-Nazi Croats and Muslim Fundamentalist Facsists? Do you know something we don't?
Fascism is a trade mark for the children killers Serbs and their apologists.
It was the same hatred you harbour that led to the massacre of women and children at the hands of Serbs in Bosnia.
You wife haven’t been raped, it’s other peoples wives that been raped and murdered, and you call them fascists.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Lets stick to the facts please. The biggest displaced ethnic group during the break up of Yugoslavia were the Serbs. The Croats expelled 200,000 Serbs from the Krajina region of Croatia alone to create an ethnically pure Neo-Fascist State. The Bosnian Muslim leader and Fascist Izetbegovic ( who fought with the Nazi's in WW11)scuppered the chance of a peaceful settlement in in the early 1990's to pursue a policy of ethnic cleansing (infact Izetbegovic coined the phrase "ethnic cleansing"). I am staggered that you have the gall to say I should be ashamed of myself; it is you who should be ashamed, ashamed of your ignorance and racism. There were many atrocities committed in the break up of Yusoslavia by ALL sides. No ethnic group are blameless, and as Milosevic said " the victims and casulties of war against Yugoslavia were the innocent people from all three nations, all three ethnic groups". The Were pushed into war... by foreign interests... and the mindless leaders who led them to their deaths"
Andrew;
You wanted to stick to facts, but came up with Izzat Bigovich being responsible for his people’s genocide. how intellegent of you.
And did the massacre of Srebrenica, in which 7500 murdered, took place or not?
Dan
You are getting desperate. I said stick to the facts not spurious figures that cannot be substantiated. The figure of 7,000 was originally given by the Red Cross as a missing persons figure, and does not include the thousands who reached the Muslim lines at Tusla ( Muslims leaders refused the Red Cross these figures for propoganda purposes). Less than 3,000 bodies have been exhumed from the Srbrencia area,and the vast majority of these are Muslims and Serbs killed in fighting. Around 300 of these bodies should the classic signs of being executed. Now 300 people being murdered is a terrible war crime. There is a good chance that these were murdered by Mercenaries or Serb paramilitaries ( not under the control of Mladic). A terrible crime was committed at Srbrenicia ( and before it by Muslims attacking Serb villages from th "safe have"), but talk of 7,000 + is an insult to the 300 or so who were murdered ( is this not enough people?). FACTS NOT PROPAGANDA!
andrew;
Serbrinicia, is one of the most documented massacres.
http://www.gendercide.org/case_srebrenica.html
The number came from a 155 pages report presented by Kofi Annan to the UN security council he said the remains of around 2500 have been found in mass graves, and thousands more will probably be found in other burial sites.
The number of men who were inside and still missing is around 7000, with other reports put them at 8 and 10 thousands.
Many of the bodies have their hands tied to their backs and died from bullets to their heads.
There are 20.000 people listed as missing in Bosnia..
Radivoj Krstic, in a radio transmission intercepted by western eavesdroppers, told his forces: "You must kill everyone. We don't need anyone alive.
Rape, murder, then a lunatic like you would have the guts to say nothing happened.....
I wish your wife, your Mom, you daughters will get a Serbian treat one day, the same way ( it never happened) in Bosnia.. say Amin.
Dan
There is no need to keep getting personal; wishing ill upon me. The Empire's lie machine love people like you, very easily brainwashed sponges who meekly soak up their lies and propaganda like manna from heaven. You really must delve deeper into the figures you so readily believe, and check out the sources. I expect you still believe the serbs killed 100,000 ethnic Albanians in Kosovo don't you? You continue to believe fairy tales if you want, but I'll stick to credible evidence.
dear daniel can you please explain the mysterious demise of president Milosevic
trify
