Courting the anti-war constituency, Democratic presidential rivals Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama both voted against legislation that pays for the Iraq war but lacks a timeline for troop withdrawal.
"I fully support our troops" but the measure "fails to compel the president to give our troops a new strategy in Iraq," said Clinton, a New York senator.
"Enough is enough," Obama, an Illinois senator, declared, adding that President Bush should not get "a blank check to continue down this same, disastrous path."
If either one of them had voted for this blank check for Bush they would be kissing their Presidential aspirations goodbye. But I am still concerned that they seemed unsure in the beginning as to how they would vote. If you want to be the President you need to have unwavering convictions that are based in reality. And the reality about the Iraq war is that it is over and we lost.
