Kyl-Lieberman Amendment Passes
by QuestionGirl • 1:56 pm

Clinton voted for it…… Obama didn’t vote. I haven’t agreed with all of Jim Webb’s votes….but he is spot on on this and should have been listened to. Fuck Clinton. Fuck Obama.

From Iran Nuclear Watch:

Senators who voted against the resolution were Senators Biden, Bingaman, Boxer, Brown, Byrd, Cantwell, Dodd, Feingold, Hagel, Harkin, Inouye, Kennedy, Kerry, Klobuchar, Leahy, Lincoln, Lugar, McCaskill, Sanders, Tester, Webb and Wyden.

Senators Obama and McCain did not vote on the resolution. Click here for the full Roll Call vote.

Senators Lieberman and Kyl dropped paragraphs 3 and 4 under Section (b), the Sense of Senate section, in attempts to alleviate concerns that the resolution might be taken as an authorization for the use of force against Iran.

Senator Webb[/tag] stood up once again to oppose the bill, noting that if the administration proceeds as recommended in the resolution, it would be the first time that the US has desinates an entire military as a terrorist organization and this could be taken as a defacto authorization for use of force. Mr. Webb again noted that there has not been one hearing on this matter and that the amendment should be withdrawn and considered in the appropriate committees.
