Joseph Lieberman actually said...

"We need to listen to people... talk about the use of weapons."

"I think it is very important that diplomacy and the threat of force be combined here so that we bring the national power of the United States to greatest effect."

"I wouldn't want, just as a former diplomat, I certainly wouldn't want to impose on President Obama an outsider's view of what his deadline is."

"Crippling sanctions are not only consistent with diplomacy; they are critical to any hope of its success."
