Lieberman fingers Yemen

CIGNA spokesman Joe Lieberman today became the first senator to suggest that it might be a real good idea for the United States to invade Yemen. "Iraq was yesterday's war," Holy Joe told FOX News Sunday. "Afghanistan is today's war. If we don't act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow's war, and I've got a busy day planned for tomorrow." Lieberman said that it was no surprise whatsoever that there appeared to be a connection between the Yemeni branch of al-Qaeda and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian who failed to blow up Northwest Airlines flight 253. "Just another terrorist with explosives in his pants? I think not. This is a man who had been to Yemen, a man whose father was a Nigerian prince that was up to his neck in internet scams. I myself was one of his father's victims, naively believing that this prince had selected me as a receptacle for his trust. I won't go into details, but it involved the transfer of funds to a bank, in Yemen, and I foolishly thought that in my capacity as a United States senator I could be of some assistance. And then 911 happened. Janet Napolitano says there is no evidence of a wider terrorist plot? Sounds to me like she doesn't know a whole lot about Yemen."
