Whereas Saddam Hussein has failed to comply with United Nations Security Council Resolutions 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 949, 1051, 1060, 1115, 1134, 1137, 1154, 1194, 1205, 1284, and 1441;
Whereas the military action now underway against Iraq is lawful and fully authorized by the Congress in Sec. 3(a) of Public Law 107-243, which passed the Senate on October 10, 2002, by a vote of 77-23, and which passed the House of Representatives on that same date by a vote of 296-133;
Whereas more than 225,000 men and women of the United States Armed Forces are now involved in conflict against Iraq;
Whereas over 200,000 members of the Reserves and National Guard have been called to active duty for the conflict against Iraq and other purposes; and
Whereas the Senate and the American people have the greatest pride in the men and women of the United States Armed Forces, and the civilian personnel supporting them, and strongly support them in their efforts: Now, therefore, be it
END
Now 2004 "Bush was wrong on Iraq"
Do you hear it?? He's
This guy has so many positions, it's enough to make anyone dizzy
I'll bet he voted against it before he voted for it.
Wow... Good find. Also note, Edwards, Clinton and Kennedy are signed on.
As far as I can tell the only thing Kerry has not flip flopped on yet is marrying money...
Another "New media vs old playbook" moment.
You better make sure this isn't an AP story which will be retracted. Of course cnn, abc, nbc, cbs, msnbc, cnbc, hnn, pbs, nytimes, bostonglobe, usatoday, washintonpost will jump on this story and will be front page news for at least 2 months. (/sarcasm>
Frist had 98 co-sponsors of S. Res. 95 , only Senator Zell Miller (Democrat of Georgia), who was absent due to a family emergency was not on that list.http://usinfo.state.gov/dhr/Archive/2003/Oct/09-59088.html <-- Source
I'm starting to think the man is just addled. How can you not remember this sort of thing, and if you do remember it, how can you flipflop as if no one else remembers what you said?
Incidentally---in the Kerry campaign shakeup, what happened to the band of brothers? If Kerry can't talk about VN anymore, do those guys have to go home and get back to their real jobs?
This was when the Dems were clammoring to get onto the war wagon [rather than the bandwagon].
LOL, great toon!
Ever since the convention, I can hear that sing songy refrain: flip-flop, flip-flop. And I think a lot of people watching took it as genuine. Organic. Not contrived. I know I took it as a spontaneous crowd reaction.
