#36 Obama cosponsored the Iran Counter Proliferation Act (Senate Bill 970), which calls for sanctions on Iran and other countries assisting Iran’s nuclear program. McCain is also one of the 72 co-sponsors. The bill was introduced in 3/07 but has not gone anywhere since then. Here’s the CRS summary and here’s testimony from a Brookings Institute fellow who appeared before the Senate Finance Committee in 4/08. It includes explanations of concerns about the legislation.
#35 Obama was an original cosponsor in July 2006 of the Senate resolution (Senate Resolution 534) expressing support for Israel in its conflict with Hezbollah, condemning the Hezbollah attacks, and calling for strong action against Iran and Syria. Here’s an interesting CRS report on the conflict, published that Fall.
I have several other reasons to list as to why Obama/Biden are the best ticket for stability, security and peace in the Middle East and will post those during Yom Kippur (there will be one day I won’t be posting).
Tomorrow, I’ll return to the regular issue-based countdown, though I might just have to slide in one or two about decision-making related to vice president choices.
On November 4, vote for Obama/Biden.
