Senator Lieberman advocates military strike on Iran

What he said, in the course of stepping up his efforts on behalf of the body bag industry:

"Iraq is now the main front in the long war we are fighting against the Islamist terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. In fact 90% of the suicide bombers in Iraq today killing Iraqis and American soldiers are foreign Al Qaeda fighters. Iran is training and equipping soldiers, Iraqis, to come in and kill American soldiers and Iraqis," said Lieberman.

With just a little bit of contextual elucidation, the incoherence of this logorrhea is evident:

" (Shia-majority)Iraq is now the main front in the long war we are fighting against the (Sunni) Islamist terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. In fact 90% of the suicide bombers in Iraq today killing Iraqis and American soldiers are foreign (Sunni) Al Qaeda fighters. (Shia) Iran is training and equipping soldiers, Iraqis, to come in and kill American soldiers and Iraqis," said Lieberman.

If you can tease a logically meaningful conclusion out of Lieberman's terminal case of the stupids, please share it with the rest of the class.

Where do the majority of suicide bombers actually come from? According to one prominent source, 70% come from .... U.S. ally and Sunni fundamentalist-dominated Saudi Arabia.

Noted intellectual Ronald Reagan once said that "facts are stubborn things." Alas, he seems to have been wrong. Stupid seems to be far more tenacious.
