We've declared war with Iran

Our Democratic majority is fucking useless.

While no one is listening, 28 mutherfuckin Democrats are voting YES on Senate Amendment 3017.

This amendment was called "Cheney's pipe dream" by Jim Webb. It states, in part:

(3) that it should be the policy of the United States to combat, contain, and roll back the violent activities and destabilizing influence inside Iraq of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, its foreign facilitators such as Lebanese Hezbollah, and its indigenous Iraqi proxies;

(4) to support the prudent and calibrated use of all instruments of United States national power in Iraq, including diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and military instruments, in support of the policy described in paragraph (3) with respect to the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies;

(5) that the United States should designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a foreign terrorist organization under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and place the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists, as established under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and initiated under Executive Order 13224;...

Did you get that? These three paragraphs are basically the Senate giving their blessing on the "use of all instruments" to "combat, contain, and roll back the violent activities...of the Islamic Republic of Iran" and "designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps as a foreign terrorist organization" and "plac(ing) the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists."

Remember when we said if the Dems that we elected rolled over and let Bush bomb Iran, there would be huge backlash and people would take to the streets and riot? Well get ready. I feel a riot coming on.

A few thoughts on the roll call:
the fact that Hilary Clinton voted for this makes it impossible for me to vote for her for President. I'm not sure I would have anyway, but fuck! She's as useless as the rest of them.

Murry, one of our two Democratic Senators here in Washington State voted for it.
