Reply #17: The article may be mistaken in its conclusions

there was an http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3380639#3380767">earlier thread on this topic where I outlined what was actually in the http://iranlegislation.wikispaces.com/space/showimage/DAV07990_xml.pdf?token=004cb03ebff8602eac496bf2160a7148">Liebermann amendment it is most definately not a rubber stamp for an attack on Iran. It asks for a bi-monthly report on the latest evidence of Iranian attacks on US forces. It will be presented by either the commander of IMNF (Iraq Multi-national Force) or the US Ambassador to Iraq.

It is merely an excuse for propaganda to be jammed in the Senates face every eight weeks. That's all.

The text of the amendment is simple to follow - a litany of mostly false statements (aka Findings) followed by the call for the regular reports in the closing paragraph.
