                 SENATOR JOE LIEBERMAN IS CORRECT AGAIN

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOE WILSON

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 25, 2021

  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Madam Speaker, Talia Kaplan of 
FOXBusiness reported Tuesday that Former Sen. Joe Lieberman . . . 
blasted the reported meetings between Biden administration officials 
and Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif during the Trump 
administration, calling it ``inappropriate.''
  ``A recent report from The Washington Times claimed that Biden 
administration officials, including John Kerry and Robert Malley, had 
meetings with Zarif during the Trump administration that were 
orchestrated to . . . `devise a political strategy to undermine the 
Trump administration.'
  `` `I think this is a perilous time,' '' Lieberman said. `I think the 
previous administration carried out exactly the right policy toward 
Iran.' ''
  `` `So I think that sends a bad signal to Iran . . . with all the 
uncertainty and instability in the world, the most serious enemy that 
could do us and our allies the most damage is the Islamic Republic of 
Iran.' ''
  It is sad any American ignores the Iranian chant of Death to Israel, 
Death to America. They mean it.
  In conclusion, God Bless Our Troops and we will never forget 
September 11th in the Global War on Terrorism.
