MS. MITCHELL: Well, let's take a look also at the American support for this. When we looked at our NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, again, as to whether or not all this was worth it, a majority, 51 percent, feel that removing Saddam Hussein was not worth the casualties and the billions that we spent.
So, Joe Lieberman, have we lost the American people?
SEN. LIEBERMAN: We're in danger of losing too many of them. I mean, here's where we are now. Our military is performing brilliantly, courageously and with a real sense of purpose. They know the importance of what they're doing. The Iraqis now have their own government, a very balanced representative, not elected, but a lot of credibility among the Iraqi people. The country is getting up and running, and I think the real challenge to us who are in positions of leadership in America on a bipartisan basis is to make the case to the American people about why it is important to pull together and win this post-Saddam war in Iraq. And why if we do and when we do, our children and our grandchildren are going to live a lot safer lives than otherwise. So I don't want to go through another circumstance where division at home deprives America and the world of a victory over terrorists who hate us more than they love life.
MS. MITCHELL: Well...
SEN. LIEBERMAN: These are the very same people who attacked us on September 11.
Um, Joe? No, they're not you dumbass.
