Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Lieberman sharpened his criticism of Howard Dean on Tuesday, saying the front-runner's foreign and domestic policies would erode national security and cost million of Americans their jobs. ``He seems to believe if you are just against everything, that's enough. Against removing Saddam Hussein, against middle-class tax cuts, against knocking down the walls of protection around the world so we can sell more products made in America,'' Lieberman said. ``Dr. Dean has become Dr. No.'' The Connecticut senator said former Vice President Al Gore's endorsement of Dean and the capture of Saddam Hussein have crystallized a stark choice voters face in the New Hampshire primary in six weeks. ``We have already had three years of economic tough times because of George Bush,'' he said. ``We cannot replace that with another spat of backward policies that would only burden the middle class even further ... and we cannot replace the foreign policy that has antagonized our allies with one that would be weak and would isolate us in a growing economic world.'' Lieberman said Dean's statement that America is not safer with Saddam Hussein in prison illustrates the former Vermont governor's shaky grasp on foreign policy. ``It goes beyond Iraq,'' Lieberman said during a speech at a plant he had toured. ``The fact is that Governor Dean has made a series of dubious judgments and irresponsible statements in this campaign that together signal that he would take us back to the days when we Democrats were not trusted to defend our security.'' On domestic issues, Lieberman said Dean wants to raise taxes on the middle class, pose new regulations on businesses, and rebuild the trade barriers. ``That would start a trade war and cost millions of Americans their jobs. The man who didn't want to fight a war we should have fought now wants to start a war we shouldn't start,'' he said. nytimes.com
