Power Line
Mark Levin at NRO's Corner points to the following language, contained in an October 2002 Senate resolution authorizing the president to go to war, for which Senators Reid, Clinton, Schumer, Dodd, Kerry, Edwards, and Biden all voted:
<<<
"Whereas members of al Qaida, an organization bearing
responsibility for attacks on the United States, its
citizens and interests, including the attacks that
occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq;
"Whereas Iraq continues to aid and harbor other
international terroist organizations, including
organizations that threaten the lives and safety of
United States citizens;
"Whereas the attacks on the United States of September
11, 2001, underscored the gravity of the threat posed by
the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by
international terrorist organizations ... "
>>>
Yet the Democrats now claim that it is unconscionable for President Bush to link our military action in Iraq to 9/11 and the war on terrorism. What the Democrats really mean is that it is unconscionable for Bush to keep mentioning an issue that has cost them back-to-back elections because they can't convince the public they are sufficiently serious about it.
