It's A BIG DEAL says the Joint Cheifs of Staff. And it's sounding like they are going to use this as an excuse to go to war.

You've given Bush/Cheney exactly what the needed to go to war with Iran.

1. I do thank her
for showing up and making what I'm sure was a tough decision (and one I don't necessarily agree with or understand) ... unlike some who sat it out, raised some more money, gave a speech or two and then carped on those with the courage and balls who hauled their asses to DC and did their f*cking jobs, consequences or not.

4. Right, voting for one of Bush's war is much better than not.

8. Again. You're more concerned about the ones that missed the vote than those that support war.

22. They are equally reprehensible. Neither one is under my consideration for the primes. nt

2. You didn't give Obama credit for sitting the vote out....
AGAIN AND AGAIN he proves that when the voting for a tough bill comes up he knows what to do....skip the vote.

3. Oh I'm sure nobody saw that coming.
How could anyone have known they'd use something like that as a means to get another war started?

6. I don't get how this has five responses...

7. The bill explicitly says it is not to be construed
as authorization for war against Iran. I don't know how much clearer the word "explicit" can be. But if someone hates Hillary that little fact means nothing. Just keep shoveling the shit.

9. The first one said he had to consult congress first, which he did not.
Guess it takes a while for that lesson about him not playing by the rules to sink in.

17. Exactly. I'm sick to death of hearing that.
This is not a typical president, not by any means.

He got a blank check to bomb Iran and one of our hopefuls voted to let him, thee other couldn't even be bothered.

Fuck them both.

16. I don't hate Hillary. I do, however, hate that vote with this despot in the WH.
I'll give her this much, at least she went on record. That's it, that's all.

ANY other president, even Bush 1, and I might buy your argument. Not with Bunnypants. Think I'll bookmark this one and when the bombs drop on Tehran come back to it.

20. It's beginning to look like it, indeed.
But if they start dropping bombs on my SIL's hometown, I'm gonna make sure someone squirms for excusing it.

13. The next chunk of money Congress sends to chimpy for war will be used in
Iran.

21. When the bombs drop in Tehran, I'm gonna make some here squirm. I've bookmarked this thread
and I intend to make the apologists remember--oh, yes, indeed.

23. Those who voted against it are paying close attention, I hope -- they had a
concern this might happen.

24. "No" was the only acceptable vote with W in power.
Best thing I can say about K/L is that it enabled me to cross two potentials off of my list for good.

25. Keeping the straights open is one thing
but we know how these things escalate when human intelligence fails its diplomacy and ignorance (bombs)reign in.

26. Well, you know, they have to look "tough" on defense while claiming to be anti-war. K&R

27. she did it for AIPAC as much as for bush/cheney
have you noticed how our foreign policy has been co-opted by the hardliners here and there? Many democrats are complicit.
