Lieberman Calls for Armageddon Not really, but consider how MSNBC reports the story. Here's their headline: US senator urges military strike on Iran msnbc.msn.com Pretty radical headline. Sounds very unconditional, doesn't it? In the first paragraph of the story, MSNBC supports their preposterous headline with a wild misrepresentation, then they contradict themselves in the very next paragraph: Joe Lieberman, an outspoken Congress hawk, on Sunday proposed that the US bomb Iran to stop alleged support for Iraqi militia. The Democratic senator, who ran independently in the 2006 midterms after losing his party's support, came close to suggesting in a television interview that the US take military action to stop Iran's suspected nuclear weapons programme. So, first it's an unconditional "Let's bomb Iran!" and then it's he "came close to suggesting." They hook you with the crazy, irresponsible headline, then they back off.
