Obama doesn't have an "anti-war" stance (5.00 / 1) (#13)

He opposed the Iraq War from the outset, full stop. No need for the "air quotes". Like an enduring supermajority of Americans, Obama supported the Afghanistan War against Al-Qaeda. So he's not "anti-war".

Sens. Clinton, Dodd, Biden and Edwards all voted for something titled Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002. What part of "Authorization of the Use of Military Force" implies the vote was about inspectors or the UN? Sen. Kerry was wrong as well and HIS vote likely cost him the White House in 2004 and our nation ever more bloodshed and loss.

I don't think supporting the worst foreign policy disaster in a half century is the kind of performance that merits a promotion. When more Democratic voters find out the record, I think they'll agree. To your "enough already" plea, I say "more please".
