A spokesman for Senator Clinton, while not commenting about Ms. Sheehan's remarks, said that the senator, while voting to give President Bush the authority to go to war, has been very critical of the way he has chosen to use that authority.

Despite what many Dem partisans here attempt to sell, even Clinton's own aide acknowledges that the IWR was a vote to authorize going to war.

Now, will some say that this aide is "letting Bush off the hook" by acknowledging the reality of the IWR vote?

Or will those who have strained credibility to offer apologia for the IWR vote finally be intellectually honest enough to admit that even those close to the ones who voted for it saw, and see, it as a vote to authorize going to war as b*s* saw fit?

Do we believe those who desperately spin the IWR vote to protect their beloved candidates, or do we believe those who work with the pro-IWRers every day?

I think I can safely say that Clinton's aide is closer to the truth on that matter than those who excuse away her - and other's - collaboration. Clinton's own aide has basically stated that "yeah, she voted for the war, but not the way it's being carried out".

With all due respect to those partisans, check and mate.
