By a vote of 76-22. While modified in some of its language (the resolution no longer includes language that called for Bush to use military force against Iran if necessary), it still says that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard should be designated a terrorist organization. The resolution relies almost entirely on recent testimony made by General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker (which of course we know was filled with inaccuracies) to support its conclusions. You can read the entire resolution as passed here (caution: pdf file).
Among the 76 Senators who voted for this piece of crap were the following Democrats:
Baucus (D-MT)
Bayh (D-IN)
Cardin (D-MD)
Carper (D-DE)
Casey (D-PA)
Clinton (D-NY)
Conrad (D-ND)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feinstein (D-CA)
Johnson (D-SD)
Kohl (D-WI)
Landrieu (D-LA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Levin (D-MI)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Mikulski (D-MD)
Murray (D-WA)
Nelson (D-FL)
Nelson (D-NE)
Pryor (D-AR)
Reed (D-RI)
Reid (D-NV)
Rockefeller (D-WV)
Salazar (D-CO)
Schumer (D-NY)
Stabenow (D-MI)
Whitehouse (D-RI)
Note in particular, Hillary Clinton, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Diane Feinstein and Chuck Schumer voted for the resolution which Bush will invariably use as justifying any attack he wants to make on Iran. Lieberman’s not on the list above since I don’t count him as a Democrat anymore. The only Republicans who voted against the resolution were Chuck Hagel and Richard Lugar. McCain and Obama abstained.
