...that Kyl/Lieberman was a PR plank in Bush's run up to war with Iran.

He got his lemmings in Congress to declare that the government of Iran
was a "terrorist organization."

How in the world ANYONE can position this legislation as "a way toward diplomacy",
is beyond the pale. It's an insult to our intelligence.

I believe the only reason that war with Iran wasn't furthered, is because some
courageous patriots in the CIA released that NIE which demonstrated that the case
made for Iran moving toward nuclear weapons--is weak.

Without that NIE, Bush would have all ready been in the rose garden, marketing the
US into another war, with one of his talking points being, "Recently, Congress declared
the Iranian government a 'terrorist organization.' Congress agrees with me. These
people are terrorists and they must be stopped."

The Democrats (including Hillary Clinton) who voted for this Bush-enabling, pro-neocon
bunk, are either too weak to combat the President's warmongering OR they are neocons
themselves.

Either way, it was an abomination to vote "yes" on Kyl/Lieberman.
