The thought of the entire Clinton establishment taking back over Washington is disturbing. We need someone with a different last name than Bush and Clinton running this country.

"[The vote] was one in order to make very clear that the [Iranian] Revolutionary Guard was one of the most extremist groups within Iran and that it was important to sanction them in order to be able to move toward robust diplomacy," Albright said in an interview.'

please mrs. albright, the vote was to label the iranian army "terrorist" so that a pre-emptive u.s. attack can be made by bush without congressional approval, and hillary voted for it to appease the military lobbyists backing her, anybody who thinks otherwise is just being foolish.

Hillary was for saber rattling with Iran (Kyl-Lieberman) before she against it (Webb Bill). Just like she was for Iraq before she was against it.

Notice how Hillary is only saying that Bush needs congress's authority to go to war, not that she doesn't support going to war. Saying that he needs Congressional authorization is nothing new: the founding fathers wrote that into the constitution a couple hundred years ago.

Notice how Hillary never says anything of consequence and is always a follower, not a leader, on majore issues? She is not our best nominee, folks.

Sen. Webb called the Liberman-Kyl bill 'Dick Cheney's fondest dream'
Sen. Webb knew that the Bush-Cheney regime could use this as justification to attack Iran.
Hillary Clinton voted for 'Dick Cheney's fondest dream' as part of her 'general election mode'

Another chinese story.

An unlikely treasure-trove of donors for Clinton: The candidate's unparalleled fundraising success relies largely on the least-affluent residents of New York's Chinatown — some of whom can't be tracked down," by Peter Nicholas and Tom Hamburger:

"Some of the poorest Chinese neighborhoods in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx have been swept by an extraordinary impulse to shower money on one particular presidential candidate: Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton. Dishwashers, waiters and others whose jobs and dilapidated home addresses seem to make them unpromising targets for political fundraisers are pouring $1,000 and $2,000 contributions into Clinton's campaign treasury. In April, a single fundraiser in an area long known for its gritty urban poverty yielded a whopping $380,000. When Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) ran for president in 2004, he received $24,000 from Chinatown. At this point in the presidential campaign cycle, Clinton has raised more money than any candidate in history. Those dishwashers, waiters and street stall hawkers are part of the reason. And Clinton's success in gathering money from Chinatown's least-affluent residents stems from a two-pronged strategy: mutually beneficial alliances with powerful groups and appeals to the hopes and dreams of people now consigned to the margins. Clinton has enlisted the aid of Chinese neighborhood associations, especially those representing recent immigrants from Fujian province. The organizations, at least one of which is a descendant of Chinatown criminal enterprises that engaged in gambling and human trafficking, exert enormous influence over immigrants. The associations help them with everything from protection against crime to obtaining green cards. Many of Clinton's Chinatown donors said they had contributed because leaders in neighborhood associations told them to. In some cases, donors said they felt pressure to give. The other piece of the strategy involves holding out hope that, if Clinton becomes president, she will move quickly to reunite families and help illegal residents move toward citizenship. As New York's junior senator, Clinton has expressed support for immigrants and greater family reunification. She is also benefiting from Chinese donors' naive notions of what she could do in the White House. As with other campaigns looking for dollars in unpromising places, the Clinton operation also has accepted what it later conceded were improper donations. At least one reported donor denies making a contribution. Another admitted to lacking the legal-resident status required for giving campaign money

Any comment from Obama on this issue has become moot, as he supported a similar resolution just a matter of months ago. In addition, the comments from Edwards are anything but straightforward and honest, as the resolution in question does NOTHING that Edwards is claiming. And to suggest Hillary's vote is an "enabling" vote to war is rhetorically offensive (at best). He ought to read the resolution (which he clearly has not)....He is obviously trying to use the Iran issue to bolster his candidacy by trying to bring another candidacy down, which is unfortunate. He's a smart guy, with interesting ideas. Rather than touting his own ideas, however, he has now reverted to the BS politics of making false claims on others to try to bring them down. Dodd is less obtuse. However, is this was not a political year, he would (most likely) have voted "yes" on the amendment. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard is not a mystery. Ultimately, this congress will NOT give Bush the authority to go to war. The Kyl-Lieberman resolution does nothing to empower this administration. Dodd knows this (as do the others).

Ron, TX — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 19:39:51 GMT

The Kyl-Lieberman bill VERY CLEARLY links TROOPS LEVELS in Iraq to Iran's presence, and suggests that the MILITARY can and should be used AGAISNT IRAN if need be. Bill text below, see for yourselves:
From the bill text:
"(2) that it is a vital national interest of the United States to prevent the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran from turning Shi’a militia extremists in Iraq into a Hezbollah-like force"
" (3) that it should be the policy of the United States to COMBAT, CONTAIN , and ROLL BACK the violent activities and destabilizing influence inside Iraq of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran...
(4) to SUPPORT the prudent and calibrated use of ALL INSTRUMENTS of United States national power in Iraq, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and MILITARY INSTRUMENTS, in support of the policy described in paragraph (3) with respect to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies;"

If you don't think that supports the use of military action against Iran, you simply cannot read. Those paragraphs clearly lay out a war scenario using military power against Iran using Iraq as the proxy. ONE military strike against a legitimate Iranian target will send us to war with Iran. Iran WOULD strike back. The bill "supports" the use of military action against Iranian targets at the least, and at most clearly says "the Government of Iran". Do NOT be fooled. This bill was not JUST ABOUT The Revolutionary Gaurd. It tied our military presence in Iraq to BOTH the Rev. Guard AND the Iranian government.

MY OH MY, how stipid and idiotic can some people be?

First, as I've mentioned before, Hillary is neither my first or second choice for president, yet I totally hate, detest and abhor uninformed, unfair, idiotic, and dissembling attacks on any candidate.

Second, the Liberman-Kyl bill is a NON-BINDING "RESOLUTION", NOT a congressional approval of allowing our war-mongering president to declare war!

Third, I'll bet a ton that those attacking the RESOLUTION and it's backers have ZERO knowledge of what the RESOLUTION actually says, as I do having read it in it's entirety. NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING in that NON-BINDING RESOLUTION, in any way shape or form, can reasonably be construed as granting our war-mongering president the unmitigated descretion to invade or attack Iran (albeit, no one has ever accused Bush of "reasonably thinking anything).

Fourth, if you haven't read the NON-BINDING RESOLUTION, and refuse or fail to do so, and still continue to attack Senator Clinton, you should be both ashamed and wholly castigated.

geez, first you insist he didn't do such a thing, then you insist he missed a vote by accident (yeah, he had to be present on a day when the senate was in session!), then you spin that labeliing his terrorists doesn't count, and now you won't address why he doesn't come out in support of Clinton/Webbs admendment .. .
-----------------------------------------------------

Let me school you the difference between congress declaring an army a terrorist organization and State department declaring an army a terrorist organization.

If a congress declare such, the president can use their declaration to justify going to war with Iran in the name of " Fighting terrorism". However when state department make such declaration, the president cannot use such premises without getting authorization from congress.

Thus, the difference between Obama and Clinton is simple. Obama support the declaration from Sate Department but oppose congress declaration.

Clinton support Kyl-Liberman amendment (Congress) that decalre iranian military a terrorist organization.Bush can use this declaration as a proxy war against Iran.

That is why i said Clinton blew it on that vote. She should have voted No.

Get it.

Its does not matter whether the Kyl-Leiberman amendment was non-binding or not. He is still well within his rights to use it as a pretext to war with Iran. Why do you think Congress is trying pass the resolution to not invade Iran? If you have not noticed, the Bush administration has put a thin line between what is unconstitutional in regards to checks and balances. Remember the wire tapping and torture issues? We do not know what Bush or Cheney will do when it comes to war with Iran. Like Obama said "You do not write Bush a blank check and act surprised when he cashes it!"

Georgia has a point. It has worried me ever since I heard what Hillary had done. I am afraid the administration is not going to parse the sentence or look at the declaration legalistically, as a diplomat might. The administration will trumpet it a political invitation to wage war, and so I am afraid it represents a serious error in judgment.

Stu from Saginaw, MI,

I think you sound a bit unhinged here. Here are the five things the resolution says:

"- Iran is fighting a proxy war against the Iraqi and coalition forces in Iraq.
- It is a vital national interest of the US to prevent Iran from turning Iraq's Shiite militias into a Hezbollah-like force.
- The US should combat, contain and roll back the violent activities and destabilizing influence inside Iraq of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
- Prudent and calibrated use of all instruments of United States national power.
- Designating Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corp. (IRGC) as a terrorist organization."

This means, as Senator Webb said on the floor, is an act of war against Iran because United States have the right to go after any terrorist group in the world; and since the IRGC is part of a government entity, it is a label for the whole government!

So binding or not, IRGC is now considered as terrorist group and can be pursued!

Understood?

SB,I'm not interested in what obama says his position on iraq or iran are.. i'm interested in exactly what he's done..
which is vote repeatedly in congress to fund the war and to keep the troops there.

and he sponsered an admend. to call the guard 'terrorists', and he hasn't (or won't) support and amend to bar bush from attacking iraq...

so regardless of his nice words, his actions show he's either to the right of all the democratic canidates, or he's been lying to get your vote.

either way, he isn't who he says he is....

that's IF you can face facts, not jst his words

and it's insulting to say he missed the vote because he wasn't warned the vote was going to happen..
He happens to be paid to go to work, which is attending the senate when its in session.

My reading of the citations here regarding Kyl-Lieberman (2,3,4 etc.)have a key phrase in each, either directly or by reference. The phrases or words are "in Iraq" or "inside Iraq".

Words can mean a lot of things. Maybe these mean something too, like Iranian Revolutionary Guards acting inside Iraq on behalf of the Iranian government are subject to getting their heads blown off as opposed to arrested and detained. Maybe even if they have made it safely back into Iran.

There is something to be said for keeping options open and communicating consequences ahead of time, maybe even for getting authorization, dontcha think?

Hillary is all about keeping options open. In that one regard, she may be presidential and certainly has learned something from Bill.

So, I would tread very lightly. But remember the Media and Pundits give Hillary the "the most wise one" award. Even Biden did not vote for it, and I truly believe his foreign policy experience is much deeper than Hillary's. Hers comes from being the first lady and traveling, plus the fact that she usually gets a pass from the Media and make only sound bites.

The truth is They know she is the likely Nominee, and even the likely next President. They take a story and twist and turn it into something that is pure fiction.
They harp and harp on mundane matters of the past that had no bearing on This country, They think they are clever because they can turn a colorful insult.
When infact they are nothing more then twisted children ( Prob interns or volunteers) who make message boards their full time Job.
But the fact that they have to "Stoop" to that level only shows the level of desperation that is felt.

I find it Amusing. Sad,Pathetic certainly.

Obama's resolution specifically stated that nothing in it could be used to authorize Bush to attack Iran. The Kyle/Lieberman resolution did not contain that language. That is the DIFFERENCE between Clinton and Obama. Clinton either still trusts Bush not to attack without approval (even though there is nothing in the resolution prohibiting him from doing so) or she actually does support such an attack but is to poll-shy to say before the primaries are through and thus uses the cover of the vague (purposefully?) Kyle/Lieberman resolution to do so. Obama on the other hand does not trust Bush and so put the language in his resolution to make sure Bush could not use as a pretext to attack. You tell me who is the naive one?

Edwards and Obama are still thinking about what that vote could or could not do for them today. Hillary knows that she will have to deal with that issue someday and can't afford to be soft on Iran today. The difference berween winners and losers.

Giving Bush even the slighest amount of leeway is like giving a mad dog permission to be off his leash. Anyone who says that Bush cammot go to war without the permission of the Congress must be in advanced Alzheimer's and can't see that he has already gone to war twice without the permission of the Congress. Hillary was the front runner in my mind and by quite a large margin, but this act of total stupidity has reduced her image considerably and perhaps we wopuld be better off with Edwards or Obama.

Don't any of you Libs get it yet? It's always your fault. When the Republican congress set a precedent for pork earmarks (ie the bridge to nowhere) where do you think they got the idea? When the administration decided that diplomacy was best for N. Korea after their 'tough cheap talk' didn't work it was the Dems fault for making the original deal to begin with. When the Repubs spout off 'small gov't' the grow it, again they wouldn't do that if the Dems hadn't given them the idea. When they say we're against certain social issues, they will nominate a liberal in their primary. When they talk about Albright and 'sucking up' they must of got their 'CRONYISM' philosophy from the Dems too (Browny, Rummy, Gonzo, Miers, Wolfy, Condie and the like).

If I recall it was the one's WHO DIDN'T SUCK UP to this administration that got the axe. Ask Collin Powell and Paul O'Neil.

Yet once again it's the Dems fault, even with a Rebup congress in office for most of Bush's tenure. It's the Dems fault that Foley and Craig switched bats because evidently the Dems gave them 'the idea'. And David Vitter, he got the idea from Bill Clinton. It's the Dems fault that we almost let a nation that produced some 9-11 terrorist to govern our ports because they were just trying to increase diversity in our ports.

So you see it will always be the Dems fault and you just need to get over it.

For one, not voting for the Webb bill does not mean he is for Bush unilaterally going to war. It is not written anywhere that if you don't vote for something it means you are against it. Show me! Secondo, the fact that Hillary put her name on this bill without informing its originator speaks volume of her intentions. She lacks tact even in dealing with her colleagues. Thirdly, the fact that Clinton put her name of Webb's bill at least 6 months after Mr. Webb originated the bill in March 2007 (precisely after her vote on the Iran rev. guard was called to question) only goes to show that she is aware that her vote on the Iran rev. guard was a weapon in Bush's/Cheney's hand.

On the other hand Hillary's Kyl-Leiberman bill did not include that language and so when she realized her gaffe, she hurriedly went back and brought a March 2007 bill that contained the same language and put her name on it without informing it's originator.

Why she let lieberman talk her into that is beyond me. Not only does she need to learn to stay away from that man, but her judgement was way off on so many levels. 1. If she lets people like lieberman convince her that a vote like that is a good idea, I don't want her as pres. 2. If she thought that vote would help her in the general, that was poor judgement, it won't. 3rd, she can barely come up with a justification for it, and that's odd that she can't convince even a few that it was an okay idea. Bad judgement all around.
