Clinton warns Bush about action in Iran

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton warned President Bush on Wednesday not to take any military action against Iran without getting congressional approval first.

"If the administration believes that any, any use of force against Iran is necessary, the president must come to Congress to seek that authority," Clinton said in a Senate speech.

Clinton, a member of the Armed Services Committee, voted in 2002 to give Bush the authority to use military force in Iraq - a vote that has prompted some Democrats to demand that she repudiate.

Since then, the New York senator has become an outspoken critic of Bush's handling of the war. She said the new Democratic Congress must not let him make similar mistakes in the increasingly tense relationship with Iran.

"It would be a mistake of historical proportion if the administration thought that the 2002 resolution authorizing force against Iraq was a blank check for the use of force against Iran without further congressional authorization," Clinton said.

She also insisted the resolution authorizing force against those responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks did not allow for U.S. action now against Iran. More.....

You can be sure the tough talk from Hillary is going to continue. Like Kerry she is flip-flopping to try and win the bleeding heart left wing liberals back with tough talk against the war.

I just don't understand why someone would cater the the party that strives to tear our country apart. How they are able to sleep goes against everything this country was ever founded on is beyond me.

JFK and Thomas Jefferson would be embarrassed by the democrats of today.
