Hillary alone on the stage on Iran vote

November 15th, 2007, 7:38 pm · Post a Comment · posted by Dena Bunis, Washington Bureau Chief

It was lonely for Hillary Clinton on the stage tonight when it came to Iran.

She was the only one of the Democrats on the stage to vote for - or support - the resolution calling the Iranian Republican Guard a terrorist organization.

The question was asked by a Las Vegas mother whose son stood next to her. A Marine reservist, he served three tours in Iraq.

By the way, Barack Obama missed that vote. He was out campaigning.

All those who opposed that vote said it was playing into Bush administration hands and was a drum beat for a war with Iran.

Clinton said it was important to send a message about the Guard because they were helping to feed the insurgency in Iraq and that the resolution would not give Bush the ability to go to war in Iran.
