Personally, I don’t remember a Clinton/Ali analogy, either, but MaryMac didn’t make up the bit about Kyl-Lieberman. Those who opposed it did so based on the history of this White House to torture logic in any way necessary to make up equal down, etc. Edwards actually said during the debate that (I’m paraphrasing) we know that if you give this White House an inch, they’ll take a mile. The charge is, Kyl-Lieberman can be used as authorization to invade Iran and with this White House, if it CAN be, it WILL be.
Hillary voted for it but insisted she did it as a matter of diplomacy. I believe she even indicated she hadn’t read it but she voted for it. I’ve read it. It includes little tidbits like:
“it should be the policy of the United States to combat, (emphasis mine) contain, and roll back the violent activities and destabilizing influence inside Iraq of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, its foreign facilitators such as Lebanese Hezbollah, and its indigenous Iraqi proxies;”
and:
“that the United States should designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a foreign terrorist organization…and place the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists”
Hillary’s stump rhetoric is one thing. Her actual VOTES are aiding and abetting…
