Obama introduces Iran measure

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071102/ap_po/democrats_iran_4

WASHINGTON - Democrat Barack Obama is offering a Senate resolution that says President Bush does not have authority to use military force against Iran, the latest move in a debate with presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton about how to respond to that country's nuclear ambitions.

Clinton's campaign accused Obama of playing politics instead of taking a leadership role from the outset.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said the Illinois senator will introduce the measure Friday in an effort to "nullify the vote the Senate took to give the president the benefit of the doubt on Iran."

Burton was referring to an amendment sponsored by Sens. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, that passed 76-22 on Sept. 26 and designates Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.

Clinton and 29 other senators wrote to Bush Thursday to tell him he has no congressional authority for war with Iran.

1. And Clinton's vote displayed leadership? Sheesh.

2. Why didn't he just join Webb's bill that seems to do exactly the same as his bill? n/t
