    DOUBLE EDITION OF LIES AND THE LYING LIARS THAT WHO TELL THEM: AL FRANKEN ON VOTING FOR THE USE OF FORCE IN IRAQ AND ON SAYING “WE HAVE TO GO TO WAR”

    By Michael B. Brodkorb | October 22, 2007

    "In a May 2006 radio interview, Franken said, 'I think I would have voted for the use of force because I would have believed Colin Powell.'

    Asked during his interview with the Star Tribune why he would have done so, given that his friend and mentor Sen. Paul Wellstone cast one of the few votes against it, Franken said: 'I wrestled with it and I didn't 100 percent say we gotta go to war. I would have voted for the resolution to get the weapons inspectors in … [T]he president said it was a vote for peace, not a vote for war." Source: Star Tribune, October 22, 2007

    Woah….did I read that correctly?  As I first reported almost two weeks ago, Franken specifically said he "would have voted for the use of force" against Iraq.  Franken didn't call it a vote for peace. 

    Also, contrary to what Franken is now claiming, Franken did say "…I guess we have to go to war." I've posted the video more than once on Minnesota Democrats Exposed and Blogs for Norm!.  Click here to watch the video again.

    This post also appears on Blogs for Norm!, an online community and blog covering the 2008 U.S. Senate campaign in Minnesota. The primary goal of Blogs for Norm! is to organize bloggers who support U.S. Senator Norm Coleman.

      Yes… of course… a resolution authorizing the use of military force is often confused with a “vote for peace.”

      JHC, this guy is a moron. No wonder the liberals love him.
