Jim Webb calls out the Senators doing Dick Cheney's bidding for a war with Iran

Note to Democrats on the Hill: Senator Jim Webb is one of your best messengers. Get him out there more. He's tough, authentic and believable.

Case in point was Webb's appearance on Hardball last night. Logan Murphy at Crooks and Liars has the video and the synopsis. Almost anytime Webb appears, it is must-see TV. This is another one of those times:

On Thursday’s Hardball Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) talked with Chris Matthews about the strong push from Dick Cheney and some members of the Senate — namely Kyl and Lieberman — to move closer to invading Iran. Matthews gets it, by passing amendments condemning Iran, they’re tying to get other legislators on the record so they can come back later and use it to make the case for war.

Matthews: “…But these guys, Kyl - Kyl and Lieberman are not diplomats, they’re hawks.

Webb: “Well, the Cheney element of the administration is well represented in the United States Senate.”

The drumbeat for war gets louder. And, Senators are enabling it. Those Senate resolutions matter to Bush and Cheney's war effort.
