THE NEWS

February 5, 2007 -- This editor attended this past Saturday's Democratic National Committee Winter Meeting. Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel's speech had the Democratic Party official's undivided attention when he chastised those Democratic candidates who supported the Iraq war resolution. Gravel said those candidates who voted for the war and who are now claiming they made a mistake do not possess the judgment to be president. Candidates who voted for the war in 2002 include Senators Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Chris Dodd, and Joe Biden. Gravel criticized them and their Democratic colleagues, who, while in control of the Senate in 2002, "provided political cover for George Bush to invade Iraq." Edwards has conceded that his vote was a mistake. Some Democratic Party officials, including Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean, squirmed in their seats as Gravel, who was one of the architects of ending the draft and the Vietnam War, reminded some of the Democrats present in the Washington Hilton ballroom of their culpability in enabling the Iraq war.

1. Perhaps Madsen is confused about Dean's stance on Iraq.
I doubt he was squirming in his seat.
