Lieberman: ‘Not Sure’ Suspect Met With al-Qaida

 WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen. Joe Lieberman is “not sure” that a suspect accused of attempting to bomb a trans-Atlantic flight to Detroit met with al-Qaida.

That’s what he told FoxNews last week.

But his lack of facts has not deterred him from promoting an attack on Yemen, the African nation where the 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab said he met with supposed terrorists.

“Iraq was yesterday’s war, Afghanistan is today’s war,” Lieberman said. “If we don’t act preemptively, Yemen will be tomorrow’s war.”

Lieberman is the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the Governmental Affairs Committee.

The bomb threat on Northwest Airlines was thwarted on Christmas Day.
