50. One reason some Dem senators supported IWR is because they negotiated Iran OFF

the table along with Syria.

Those Dems working on the negotiations WERE stuck voting for an imperfect bill BECAUSE they promised they would in exchange for getting Iran and Syria taken out of the IWR talk.

Not that many truly understand that that is how the senate works. For instance, if Gore were in the senate, and the suggestions HE HAD SPECIFIED were needed to gain his approval for the IWR were then added to the resolution, he would have had some obligation to then vote for it. Sad, but that is how REALLY bad bills become better than they would be without ANY negotiation at all.
