Voice of Dissent. Politicians who spoke out against the Iraq War |
|
I'm trying to assemble a list of politicians who spoke out against the Iraq war and also voted against the War in Iraq. The media did report the six Republicans who voted against the resolution of course, but not the Democrats. I hope some of you have some names to add to the list preferably with a reference of a story predating the invasion on March 2003.
I've found the following upto now:
Richard Armey Robert C. Byrd Max Cleland John Conyers, Jr. Howard Dean John J. Duncan Lawrence Eagleburger Paul Findley Newt Gingrich Al Gore John N. Hostettler Stephanie Tubbs Jones Edward M. Kennedy Dennis Kucinich John Larson James A. Leach Barbara Lee John McCain Robert McNamara Ralph Nader Ron Paul Henry A. Waxman

5. It's important to note though that Clark opposed from a military viewpoint |
|
Same reason most heartless US gov't officials always oppose war: "not strategically winnable" or other nonsense.
Not on moral grounds.

And I think that if a Norman Schwarzkopf from a technical perspective opposes the war, it is very important. It may not mean that he is a great moral guy, but he opposed it and somehow the enormous list of Generals, Captains etc. didn't bother them.

However that's a very interesting one as well. And the Watergate Chronology so you've given me plenty to digest ;) Thanks!
I found the roll call. Jack Rabbit posted it. So I have the info. It's impossible to read, but it's in the bag ;)
