The purpose of the Kyl proposal, of course, is to give Bush some cover if and/or when he attacks Iran which seems more and more likely each day. 

The resolution, in final, form doesn’t says this–the wording that did has been removed.  But if and when an attack on Iran does come, guess what? 

That resolution supported by all who voted except for 22 Democrats will be cited by the Republicans as they point to all the dumb Democrats who voted for it.  Hillary, who voted for it, also voted for the resolution regarding Iraq, and has spent practically every day since trying to explain why. 

Now she had a second chance and muffed this one, too. 

Who didn’t vote for the Kyl-Lieberman proposal? Senators, Biden, Dodd, and Webb.  Remember  the Webb Amendment? That was about getting the troops out of Iraq.  What chances are there of getting the troops out of Iraq after an attack on Iran?

It can’t be very far from now.
