Presidential candidate Bob Barr on McCain-Palin's foreign policy

Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr has written a new press release on John McCain and Sarah Palin's foreign policy. Barr says that the McCain-Palin foreign policy would be a continuation of the Bush Administration's. Barr says that one of Palin's foreign policy briefers is Joe Lieberman. We all know that Lieberman is close to McCain and is a strong supporter of the War on Terrorism and voted for the Patriot Act. It should be noted that Barr did in fact vote for the Patriot Act and voted for the Iraqi Liberation Act of 1998. His voting record on foreign policy when he was in Congress does not support what his views are today.
