Joseph Lieberman over his remarks on the necessity of U.S. action to topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein as part of the war on terrorism. Lieberman, a Democrat, and Republican John McCain recently signed a letter to U.S. President George W. Bush urging him to make Iraq the next target in the "war on terrorism" following the U.S.-led campaign in Afghanistan. Last week the pair led a delegation of senators to Ankara, Turkey, where they vowed any action against Iraq would be taken in consultation with Turkey and other countries in the region. "I expressed the point of view, which I think is felt by many in the United States, that the war against terrorism will not end until Saddam Hussein is removed from power in Baghdad," Lieberman told reporters in Ankara. "This arrogant Jew has launched a campaign against a number of Arab countries ... concentrating his attack on Iraq, inciting the American administration against it," Al-Thawra, newspaper of the ruling Baath Party, said in a front-page editorial. "He is still, without any occasion, attacking Iraq and the Palestinian organizations, accusing them of terrorism and declaring insolently his support for the Zionist entity," the newspaper added. Bush recently warned Iraq to allow United Nations weapons inspections to resume or "find out" the consequences. The U.N. says sanctions, imposed on Iraq for its 1990 invasion of Kuwait, cannot be lifted unless Baghdad allows inspectors back into the country to check for weapons of mass destruction.
