Just so this is all in one place.

Where in the heck were Kerry and Edwards when this came up?


Expressing the sense of the Senate with respect to the actions the President should take before any use of military force against Iraq without the broad support of the international... (Introduced in Senate)

SRES 32 IS

108th CONGRESS

1st Session

S. RES. 32

Expressing the sense of the Senate with respect to the actions the President should take before any use of military force against Iraq without the broad support of the international community.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

January 29, 2003

Mr. KENNEDY (for himself and Mr. BYRD) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations


RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of the Senate with respect to the actions the President should take before any use of military force against Iraq without the broad support of the international community.

Whereas more than three months have passed, and circumstances have significantly changed, since Congress acted in October 2002 to authorize the use of military force against Iraq ;

Whereas the United Nations Security Council unanimously approved Security Council Resolution 1441 (2002) requiring Iraq to cooperate with strict weapons inspections and give United Nations weapons inspectors `immediate, unimpeded, unconditional, and unrestricted access' to all suspected sites involving such weapons;

Whereas United Nations weapons inspectors arrived in Iraq on November 18, 2002, submitted their 60-day report to the Security Council about Iraq's cooperation with weapons inspections on January 27, 2003, and will report again on their activities on February 14, 2003;

Whereas the President has not yet made a compelling case to Congress, the American people, or the international community that the use of armed force is the only alternative to disarm Iraq ; and

Whereas Congress and the American people are increasingly concerned that the President is prepared to use armed force against Iraq without broad support by the international community, and without making a compelling case that Iraq presents such an imminent threat to the national security of the United States that unilateral action is justified: Now, therefore, be it

S.RES.32
Title: A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate with respect to the actions the President should take before any use of military force against Iraq without the broad support of the international community.
Sponsor: Sen Kennedy, Edward M. [MA] (introduced 1/29/2003)      Cosponsors (1)
Latest Major Action: 1/29/2003 Referred to Senate committee. Status: Referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
COSPONSORS(1), ALPHABETICAL [followed by Cosponsors withdrawn]:     (Sort: by date)

Sen Byrd, Robert C. [WV] - 1/29/2003


If they were ohhhhh sooooo concerned that their votes allowing force were being misused, why weren't they co-sponsors of that?

LOL! Actually one of the radio guys on the morning show commented something to the effect of "Dan Rather ought to release these documents. After all he has the least credibility to lose at this point ..."

Can any freeper get Glenn Reynolds (Instapundit) or Powerline or Hugh Hewitt in contact with CNS/World Tribune folks. This needs to be quickly and throughly vetted then shoved down the MSM's throat so they cannot ignore it.

" All of that information and anything like it will be HIDDEN by the "elitist media". "
hidden like this news report from ABC in 1999?

http://www.warroom.com

The MSM is clearly ignoring all of this, how do we get it out to the American public? By going into chat-rooms around the net from A to Z and dropping the direct links, even if the chats and blogs have nothing to do with news or politics?

" but the MSM won't touch it because it hurts Kerry and helps Bush, that's why they wont touch it ... if the situation was reversed, it would be all over everywhere all day ... breaking news! etc."

ABC news has already instructed their people that this is the ABC approach.

Why is it these tyrant elitists always point their finger at people.

He`d never do it, the shred of chance that they might be true would cause a palsey like effect in his hands. He`d go into seizure or something just trying to read the cue-cards. I`d love to see that though!

How does this work that they have these documents and our own people reached such a different conclusion? I've never believed that every single intelligence agency on the planet was simply wrong about Saddam's WMD.

Thanks for the ping.

Is this thread to be doomed to fall into the uncharted abyss of the Free Republic archives before everyone gets a chance to read it?

I posted it as "breaking news" so it wouldn't get lost as easily ... but it was pulled from that category and now is not in the sidebar links. Only hope is to get it pinged out to as many lists as possible. We gotta start calling the talk shows and e-mailing and get the pressure built to up to get this out ... !!!

Hey Tonk, you've pinged me on a lot of interesting threads, thought you might be interested in this one on the Iraq-AlQaeda connections.

Post 2 has a link to the details.

Who...on talk radio will get them out to a wider public?

If Walid Phares says they're legit, Laura Ingraham would be a good candidate to do so.

" I agree. Even if at the time, there was little evidence of an Iraq-Al Qaeda connection, we have LOTS of evidence of a connection between Iraq-Hamas/Islamic Jihad/Al Aqsa Martyrs. "

Saddam's support for religious terrorists like Islamic Jihad and Hamas requires no fancy "evidence." Saddam openly boasted of his $25,000 per event subsidy to suicide bombers.

Yes, which is why it always baffles me when the DimWits say he had no ties to terrorists.

I guess those are 'freedom fighters' or some such BS.
