Following the previous post on John Kerry’s oppositon to the Iraq war, it is worth pointing out that John Kerry was a year ahead of his fellow Democrats in pushing for a Senate bill to withdraw. From Capitol Briefing at The Washington Post:
• Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.): Few people might have realized this, but Levin-Reed — setting a timetable for withdrawing troops — was essentially the same amendment Kerry offered in June 2006. Back then, it got 13 votes. Now, 53. Of course, the 2004 Democratic nominee wasn’t given his due, relegated to speaking shortly after 5 a.m. Wednesday.
