Joe Lieberman is Now Almost Comically Hawkish

Lieberman to Petraeus: Isn't it time to give you authority to invade Iran?

Petraeus to Lieberman: Uh, no.

Just watch below.

Petraeus' answer doesn't sound so much like "no" as like "not my job". He seemed to pass the buck on to superiors, which might be the most appropriate answer since invading Iran isn't his decision, but it wasn't a clear "no". I'll grant he seemed to lean against the idea. Maybe he thinks an attack inside Iran could only escalate things, and he can't more troops as it is.
