Former Senator Lincoln Chafee zones in on a critical vote that preceded the more famous vote to authorize the President to use force in Iraq. "Senator Levin’s amendment called for United Nations approval before force could be authorized." The amendment was voted down by the essentially the same margin approving the President's use of force.
As Senator Chafee points out, none of the current Presidential aspirants has addressed their failure to vote for Levin's amendment.
There have been so many miscues associated with the Iraq war that it numbs one's ability to absorb more. Yet, we cannot ignore facts that need to be addressed by those who want to lead us during the next phase of our history in Iraq.
