Is Lieberman for Killing Iraqi GAYS and Child Prostitutes?

As Joe Lieberman sides with Bush in “staying the course” in Iraq, I want to know if that means staying the course in which GAYS and child prostitutes are being systematically slaughtered in Iraq.  We the United States replaced a secular government with a theocratic government that is doing this.  These theocrats are as despicable as they come.  This is the new government that Bush, Cheney and Lieberman support?

I want all of you to watch this disturbing video feed coming from the BBC Channel 4 by going to this link: Persecution of Iraq's gay community.

When he chastised Democrats for pushing a withdrawal from Iraq, he stated, “we undermine the president's credibility at our nation's peril.”  What credibility is there when these innocent people are being slaughtered by the government that Bush installed?  Think of the peril that we as a nation placed these GAYS and child prostitutes in when we invaded Iraq in the first place.

When Lieberman stated this, “The only way the terrorists can win is if we lose our nerve and abandon our mission” (New York Times, December 10, 2005), did our mission include allowing for this holocaust to happen upon GAYS and child prostitutes?

When Lieberman stated that in matters of war, "Politics should stop at the water's edge.” I want to remind Lieberman that this is not a political issue, but a human rights issue and I want to know where his voice is when it comes to this slaughter.

What I am asking from all of you is that you get this into the hands of Connecticut voters and bring this into focus to any Democrat that still supports Lieberman.

So, Joe, are you for the slaughter of GAYS and child prostitutes in Iraq?  We have a right to know.
