Why Did Joe Lieberman Delete This Page From His Site?

Thanks to an eagle-eyed FDL commenter, we found a page that had been deleted from Joe Lieberman's campaign site but was still cached in Google as of this writing (search terms:  site:joe2006.com and iraq.)  I thought it was important to preserve it for posterity, before Google refreshes its caches.

Question:  Did he delete it because  1) he boasts of getting war-related jobs for Connecticut, or  2)  because he brags about helping to create centralized near-dictatorial intelligence authority in one person - of whom the first was GOP hack Porter Goss and the second was admitted law-breaker Gen. Hayden?

Personally, I think he nixed the page because it says he "never wavered in his conviction that Saddam Hussein was a threat to America's national security."   Kinda hurts those intelligence credentials, doesn't it?

At least, that's my theory.  Feel free to browse and draw your own conclusions.

Security: Senator Lieberman is one of Congress’s most influential voices on making America stronger, safer, and more respected in the world. He was the Senate’s leading champion of legislation creating the Department of Homeland Security to better protect the nation from terrorist attacks, of legislation to create a Commission to study the terrorist attacks of 9/11, and of legislation to reform the nation’s intelligence community and create a new Director of National Intelligence. Senator Lieberman has never wavered in his conviction that Saddam Hussein was a threat to America’s national security. He supported the war in Iraq and has been very critical of the Bush Administration’s failure to plan adequately or offer our troops the equipment and support they deserve. He has also been vocal in opposing the Bush Administration’s arrogant foreign policy, which has isolated many of our friends and failed effectively to combat our enemies. Senator Lieberman has worked to expand and transform NATO, protect international human rights and religious freedom, and expedite the containment of so-called “loose” nuclear materials. Senator Lieberman is a respected member of the Armed Services Committee, where he is Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Airland Forces and a member of the Subcommittees on Emerging Threats and Capabilities and Seapower. Through this position, he has been a chief architect of the nation’s annual defense spending blueprint that gives our Armed Forces the tools they need to combat terrorists, promote stability, and protect America’s interests and values around the world. Connecticut’s robust defense industry is an integral part of our nation’s security and as Ranking Member of the Airland Subcommittee Senator Lieberman has secured billions in funds for vital Connecticut defense priorities that not only support our national defense but also benefit Connecticut’s defense workers and economy. When Sub Base New London, one of Connecticut’s biggest contributions to national security, was targeted by the Pentagon as part of the Base Realignment and Closure process, Senator Lieberman fought aggressively to save it for the sake of a more secure America—and in the process helped save thousands of Connecticut jobs.
