Yesterday the Cornyn Amendment passed the U.S. Senate by a vote of 75 for 25 against. The usual suspects voted no, Obama was not present. There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind how Hillary Clinton really feels about the military. Below is the amendment and the no votes.
Text of Amendment:
To express the sense of the Senate that General David H. Petraeus, Commanding General, Multi-National Force-Iraq, deserves the full support of the Senate and strongly condemn personal attacks on the honor and integrity of General Petraeus and all members of the United States Armed Forces.
