If Gravel had been in Congress, he might have voted for the Iraq War. I don’t give his position on it that much credibility, since he’s criticizing the others for a decision he never had to make.

If I called Gravel immoral, I had a good reason.

I would have voted for the Iraq war and would not be sorry.

Holly,
Remember when you called Gravel immoral for absolutely no reason? Isn’t it funny that he called most of the other candidates immoral for voting for the Iraq war?

Wow! Are we actually having a real debate?! Five minutes into the debate, and the candidates are actually criticizing on another and drawing key distinctions between one another. Edwards goes after Cliton and Obama for not being more outspoken against the war. In rerponse, Obama makes that point that he (unlike Edwards) actually opposed the war in the first place.

Kucinich then criticizes the Democratic Leadership for continuing to bring up bills to fund the war rather than bringing up a bill the DEAUTHORIZE the war. Seemingly angered by Kucinich’s response, Joe Biden (the only Democrat onstage who voted to continue funding the war) argued that the Democrats couldn’t just stop funding the war while troops are still in Iraq.
