A Left Turn FOR CLARK

Actually I slightly shortened the subject line from the actual headline of the story published in "The Hill" on April 18t. The full title is:

"Dems divided over Webb’s proposal requiring approval for attacking Iran"

And acutally what I wanted to say in the title to this blog post, which I decided to bury here in the text instead, was "WTF!!!" rather than "Huh?!?".

How the hell can we be divided over this? Didn't the Democratic Party learn anything from the original IWR vote? According to "The Hill" at the time of publication, of the current announced Democratic candidates for President only Edwards and Biden had commented on and fully support Webb on this. The House Democratic Caucus forced Pelosi to remove language from the Iraq War funding legislation that would have forced Bush to come to Congress before war with Iran. Note this quote from this (linked below) story in "The Hill":

"Democrats hailed the Iraq withdrawal language attached to the emergency supplemental as a signal of a newly assertive Congress, even though the House removed a mandate for authorization of attacks on Iran from early drafts of the bill."

Rather than just getting steamed over McCain singing "Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, Iran" we need to be organizing against conflict with Iran now. Democrats are wavoring on this one. The leadership against rushing into another war, this time with Iran, is coming from America's veterans. I've said it before, and I'll say it again ( and no doubt will again say so in the future): Please visit and support:

And thank you General Wes Clark and VoteVets.org for being way out in front on this issue, as usual.
