Yiddish

John Edwards led the critique of Ms. Hillary on her support of the Senate's Iran resolution. According to Edwwards, the resolution read like it was "written literally in the language of the neo-cons." Support for the resolution was misguided because "we need to stand up to this president. We need to make it absolutely clear that we will not let Bush, Cheney and this administration invade Iran." Ms. Hillary responded that she supported legislation to restrain the Bush administration. Her vote only reflected support for diplomacy.
