I took some time off because I was getting too involved and upsetting myself with the state of our government, but this has got my blood boiling again! The Lieberman-Kyl’s Iran amendment passed, which basically opens up a back door to approve war with Iran!
“combat, contain and [stop]” Iran via “military instruments.” Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) called the amendment “Cheney’s fondest pipe dream” and said it could “read as a backdoor method of gaining Congressional validation for military action.”Here you can see who voted:

Clinton did, so she obviously didn't learn her lesson. Kerry did not. And apparently Obama was told that voting would be the next day & did not vote.
