Webb: Lieberman and Kyl bring ‘Cheney element’ to Senate.

On MSNBC’s Hardball today, Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) said that his colleagues, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) and Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ), who introduced a hawkish Iran resolution in the Senate, are “carrying water for the administration, for the hawks inside the administration” by amping up rhetoric in the Senate against Iran. “I don’t think there’s any doubt about that,” said Webb. He then added, “the Cheney element of the administration is well represented in the Senate.”

UPDATE: Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) offered a non-binding resolution today “affirming that any offensive military action taken against Iran must be explicitly approved by Congress before such action may be initiated.”

1. Good on Webb. Anybody with half a brain knows that if Lieberman and Kyl

get together to make an Iran amendment, it's not going to foster PEACE! They are absolutely water carries, doing Cheney's bidding. And Dick Durbin, just what the hell is a NON-BINDING resolution going to do to stop Chimpy?
