Hey. You want to get into a pissing match? Edwards I believe said that his vote to attack Iraq was a mistake. You want to bounce? Let’s do it!

The Clinton also retracted her Iraq Authorization Vote- for exactly the same reason that Edwards has used…that he was told by Bush Adsministration Officials in the Intelligence Committee that Saddam had WMD’s and WMD programs. Both have said that they were wrong to trust Bush. Only Clinton appears to have gotten the heat for “being naive”. The bigshot lawyer who has taken on corporate America (while also advising the Fortress Investmenr Group ~manipulative subprime lenders to the poor) apparently gets a free ride on not being suspicious of Bush.

Apparently 30 other Senators and scores of House Members didn’t trust Bush enough to give him the Authorization to use Force…but they didn’t “know” what Edwards and Clinton did…or maybe they bothered to read the bloody NIE and see how questionable the conclusions were. Or maybe they were like the 20% of people out there in the public who opposed the invasion of Iraq because what was PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE.

And BTW If you think that Edwards is somehow so much more willing to vote his conscience rather than play politics remember that he was one of the ones that pushed Kerry not to rescind their votes on the IAUF in 2004. Edwards didn’t actually “apologize” for it well into the war becoming a quagmire…try and find a reference of his retraction within four years of the date of the vote.

As a last point…take a look at Edwards’ Herzliya speech of just a year ago to see exactly how he sees the Palestinian issue, Syria, and Iran. Just Google Herzliya and Edwards…his speech praising the heroism of Shamir is all right there.

And he says the race issue is a question “that must be asked”.

Sounds like Robert Johnson’s “The Obama campaign — win, lose or draw — is going to have to address race,”

Geeze, what question? Exactly what are they demanding be asked and answered?
