Mr. Obama failed to vote on this amendment, while Mr. Durbin voted "yea." Durbin, you cannot claim to be a peaceful man. Mr. Obama, if you approve the Defense Reauthorization bill with this amendment, and make excuses about not wanting to hold up the funding for our troops, you are a snake. Shame on both of you for failing to vote against this amendment. There are no excuses. If there is war in Iran, you are to blame. Do not insult your constituents' intelligence, claiming that Bush lied his way to war.
