the Iran vote was carried 76-22 with Hilary being the only one of the 4 Dem candidates to vote for it. It was sponsored by Jon Kyle(R), Joe Lieberman and John McCain.
Obama skipped the vote as he said he had campaigning to do, and then criticized the vote.

thanx..impressive speech for the times(2002 yanks were frothing for revenge).

make no mistake…i have stated that Obama offers SOME hope.

the Clinton/McCain ticket is enough to scare the shit out of the world.

my point about Obama though is, he doesn’t always back up his occasional anti war rhetoric where it counts. His speeches to AIPAC, the AEI and other bodies have given less reason for hope.

i sure hope we get to test his mettle. America and the world need him.

not sure that who could be but the Ann Coulyer of PB called me
‘ a cowardly dog’ the other night

brought a tear to my eye
