Edwards announces vote AGAINST $87B

<http://www.boston.com/dailynews/287/region/Edwards_says_he_ll_vote_agains:.shtml>
"'I believe we have a responsibility to support our troops in Iraq. I believe we have a responsibility to help rebuilt Iraq. But our troops will not be safer and this mission will never be successful unless the president dramatically changes course." Edwards said . . . Bush needs a plan to rebuild Iraq, work more closely with allies and take steps to make sure the money is not exploited by Bush's political allies.
'It is clear to me President Bush is not going to change direction unless somebody stands up to him and say no,and for that reason, I plan to vote against' the president's plan."

Kerry: maybe yes, maybe no
Lieberman: yes
Dean: no vote but would say yes if tax cut was rolled back.

It's exactly what I was begging the Dems to do when Bush announced his need for another $87 billion. If the war is worth fighting, it's worth paying for.

You can't have it both ways.

Let's see how the others react

Thank you Mr. Edwards. I like this guy more all the time. Even if he doesn't get nominated, he will still be around next time.

As a resident of Asheville, NC I think I'll start paying attention to him now!

I'm not trying to be cute. I just forgot because I haven't been following his campaign.

For this to be more than a stunt, he needs to lobby hard to get other senators to join him and to propose a way OUT rather than just throwing a tantrum
