The Lieberman amendment--confronting Iran on its proxy attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq--just passed the Senate unanimously, 97-0.

This is worth a moment of thought.

Perhaps the senate knows we do not have sufficient troops to confront Iran as long as we are tied to Iraq.

Are we creating yet another opportunity to expand this war?

Simply Amazing!

I applaud Liebermans' effort but THIS Congress is all over the place.

I wish some enterprising media type would host a Q & A with the likes of Shrillary; Edwards; Obama et al and ask the hard questions. Do you believe AQ or Iran is a real threat to U.S. citizen's security? What actions would you take to ward off future attacks on U.S. civilians?

I am certain their answers would waffle and vacillate as per usual.

To me, the evidence is clear. These so called "Islamic" radicals, who have hijacked the Kuran for their own purposes, kill innocent fellow Muslims; behead detractors and generally behave in the most ruthless manner. They should be dealt with accordingly.

"Today's unanimous vote sends a strong, clear message from the entire Senate to the Iranians that we know what they are doing in Iraq, and they must stop...This is a warning to the Iranians that whatever differences divide us politically here in Washington, we stand united against these outrageous attacks."

I heard that vote also precluded the use of force against Iran. If so it's a useless piece of Senatorial BS.
