[PAF]

“One strong option would be former Sen. Joe Lieberman, a member of the president’s own party with deep experience and unshakable commitment to the security of the United States,” Cruz said. “I urge the president to give him full and fair consideration for this critical position.”

According to a 2003 article in the Boston Globe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Globe), Lieberman "initially supported the Vietnam War, then changed his mind in late 1967, when he decided it was 'the wrong place to be.'

He has firmly backed
every

military action since then:


Grenada,
Libya,
Panama,
Kosovo,
Afghanistan,
and both Gulf wars."[92] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Joe_Lieberman#cite_note-92) Since that time, he has repeatedly urg[ed] new American attacks against
Iran,
Syria and, most recently, action in
Yemen against terrorists.[93] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Joe_Lieberman#cite_note-93)[94] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Joe_Lieberman#cite_note-94)

I looked at his wiki page and I failed to see any official education, experience or training in the realm of defense, security, military, strategy or anything other than being a taxtick, lawyer or lobbyist. Why exactly would he be qualified for this position?

He is 100% in favor of the American Militaristic Global Empire, and will do everything in his power to advance it. Therefore, the Military Industrial Complex will give millions to any politician that supports him. Those millions are his qualifications.

Maybe Paul Wolfowitz is available. He has experience. How many of the old neoconservatives have gone back to their Democrat home? Should be plenty to choose from now.

No idea.

Apparently Cruz is very comfortable in Washington...

Seems that this is not a new choice for Cruz. He tweeted this in 2012...
