Howard Dean and Joseph Lieberman Clash Over U.S.-Israeli Relations
Last night, at a debate among the Democratic presidential candidates sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus, former Vermont Governor Howard Dean and Conn. Senator Joseph Lieberman clashed over Dean’s recent comment that the U.S. should not take sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Dean backed his statement up last night saying it is the only way for the U.S. to be a "credible negotiator" in the peace talks. Lieberman lashed back saying "Howard Dean's statements, break a 50-year record in which presidents, Republican and Democrat, members of Congress of both parties, have supported our relationship with Israel based on shared values and common strategic interests." In response to Lieberman’s criticism, Dean responded, "It doesn't help, Joe, to demagogue this issue."
