Joe Lieberman, you might recall, wrote in the Wall Street Journal last week about Iran’s increasingly brazen proxy attacks against American soldiers in Iraq. This week, with the Senate returning from recess and preparing for a new round of “out-of-Iraq” debate focused around the Defense Authorization bill, word on the Hill is that Lieberman is preparing to enter the fray with his own tough-on-Tehran resolution, going after the mullahs for their ongoing campaign of murder against our troops in Iraq. A congressional aide who has seen a draft of the Lieberman resolution says its text may be difficult for Senate Democrats to oppose on the merits, but that the left wing is nonetheless likely to decide that it is radioactive and try to stop it. I guess we will see this week if Senate Democrats are willing to stand up to Iran for its attacks on American soldiers — or if they instead prefer to let bloggers dictate our national security policy. Will have more as soon as we get a look at the resolution.
