Sen. Mike Gravel: Hillary, War with Iran is No Laughing Matter

Hillary, War with Iran is No Laughing Matter

Hillary, I'm glad to see you got a good laugh when I confronted you during last week's debate over your vote calling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard (IRG) a terrorist organization. The American public finally got to see your cavalier attitude toward our march to war. Your vote however is no laughing matter.

By labeling the IRG a terrorist organization, the Democratic-controlled congress has impeded our ability to negotiate with a huge portion of the Iranian government. The IRG is a 125,000-person organization with ties to every power base in Iran. The IRG is also admired by a vast potion of the Iranian people for its heroic stand against Saddam Hussein's invasion during the Iran-Iraq War. Mohammad Khatami, the former reformist president of Iran, warned the United States not to label the IRG a terrorist organization because doing so would preclude any diplomatic settlement of our differences.

While I'm sure your vote plays well with the hawks and military contractors who support your campaign, it is the height of irresponsibility. Like with Iraq in 2002, elements in our government have already decided to attack Iran and are now trying to "sell it." Last week, Congress gave the warmongers a big gift. (Note to Congressional Dems: You were elected to stop a war, not start a new one!)

Hillary, war with Iran will have devastating consequences for all Americans.

1. Mike Rocks!

I love him. :)

2. Sorry, laughing at Mike Gravel when necessary is always appropriate. Humane, even.

What is she supposed to do when he accuses her of aiming to get us into another war? Debate him on it? (Keep in mind, it's easy to cream the insane in debate) Take a swing at him? Work to get him involuntarily committed?

44's laughter was more than kind.

3. *ahem* She IS "aiming to get us into another war"! She voted for Kyle/Lieberman resolution!

She's helping pave the way to an attack on Iran, no ifs ands or buts. And if you can't see that, you have absolutely no business calling ANYONE "insane".

The more inane and stupid crap I hear from Hillary supporters, the more it convinces me that her nomination must be fought at any cost, if we are to salvage anything of our dying republic.

5. It was a debate,

she was confronted by Gravel, she should have explained er position. I think we would all have liked to know. Gravel was not out of line. He was correct in confronting her.

6. Thank you. Gravel was most certainly NOT out of order! (nt)
