Reply #7: Congress does not want war with Iran?

[ozone_man]

Then why did they vote for the Kyl-Lieberman Iran amendment? We know what happened the last time they voted for sanctions and IWR against Iraq, so should have kept a watchful eye as this has unfolded. As with the IWR, there were about 22 or 23 Democrats who voted against it. The Democratic wing of the Democratic Party. A majority is useless if they don't vote against enabling war.

The Democrats can try to claim that they were naive in the run up to the Iraq war, though we at DU know that is BS. But this time around, we are beyond naivety. It's a pattern. I recommend seeing a documentary "Why We Fight" to understand how the military industrial complex works.
