22. WRONG!
Edited on Sat Dec-22-07 12:37 AM by earthlover
There WAS an amendment to the IWR, the Levin Amendment, which would have sent the issue back to the UN. If not resolved by the Un, it would go back to the Congress, and another vote would be required before Bush could go to war.

Hillary voted NO on the Levin amendment.

So she had the opportunity to vote for force only after all options of the UN were exhausted. AND SHE VOTED NO TO THAT IDEA! What part of NO don't you understand?

By voting NO on the Levin Amendment and yes on the IWR, she authorized Bush to go to war, and there was nothing in the IWR that required that all options of the UN were exhausted at all. It simply allowed him to decide to go to war.

Enough of this enabling. Hillary voted no on Levin, and endorsed Bush's rush to war.

Nice try, and the Hillary Gaggle has spread this FALSE idea before, but it is contradicted by Hillary's votes.

PS...the Levin Amendment was defeated the SAME DAY as the IWR was passed.
