There are two things that Hillary Clinton has done that deserve immediate scrutiny:
1) She has disregarded the will of the DNC, the only uniting organization between Democrats.

2) She has given President Bush the authority to attack Iran. This is a portion of a statement that the Gravel Campaign is circulating. Though Obama does recognize that it is too early to rule out a strike against Iran, he did not vote on this measure, like the traitor Hillalry did.
It started with Democratic Presidential Candidate Mike Gravel criticizing Senator Hillary Clinton on live TV. Now, two other candidates are catching on. John Edwards and Barack Obama have both followed Gravel's lead, making statements that criticize Clinton's controversial vote on a measure which gives President George W. Bush the cover to attack Iran.At the September 26 Democratic debate in Hanover, N.H., Gravel first raised the issue, calling the Kyl-Lieberman amendment (S. Amdt. 3017) "a fig leaf to let George Bush go to war with Iran." The Senator went on to say, "I'm ashamed of you, Hillary, for voting for it. You're not going to get another shot at this." You can watch an excerpt of that debate here.Since then, Edwards and Obama have made similar statements. While Obama told AP he sees "nothing wrong with identifying the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization," he admits that the vote "could potentially lead to military action in Iran." You can read more about that in today's Union Leader.Obama was absent the day the vote was cast in the Senate. As a result, he could not vote on it.Edwards, who calls his vote authorizing the Iraq War a "mistake," followed Gravel in congratulating Senators Chris Dodd and Joe Biden for voting against the resolution
