Lieberman the Truth Teller

Senator Lieberman has taken up the cudgels left behind by the unfortunate departure of Senator Santorum from the U.S. Senate. You can’t ask for clearer language than this:

Although no one desires a conflict with Iran, the fact is that the Iranian government by its actions has declared war on us.

Would that those words had come from the secretary of state. Or, better still, from the president.
