John learned something from his mistake in voting for the Iraq war. Among other things, he learned that George Bush cannot be trusted.
Hillary Clinton did not learn the same lesson. On September 26th, 2007, she voted for the Lieberman – Kyl amendment, which is a first step toward war with Iran. According to ThinkProgress:
By a vote 76-22, the Senate passed the Lieberman-Kyl amendment, which threatens to “combat, contain and [stop]” Iran via “military instruments.” Sen. Jim Webb (D-VA) called the amendment “Cheney’s fondest pipe dream” and said it could “read as a backdoor method of gaining Congressional validation for military action.”
Hillary Clinton voted for this!
John Edwards called her out for it in the Democratic debate on the night of September 26, 2007:
But I want to come back to a discussion that took place a few minutes ago to make everyone understands what Senator Gravel is talking and Senator Clinton was talking about. Because there was a very important vote cast in the United States Senate today. And it was, basically, in a resolution calling the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.
I voted for this war in Iraq, and I was wrong to vote for this war. And I accept responsibility for that. Senator Clinton also voted for this war.
We learned a very different lesson from that. I have no intention of giving George Bush the authority to take the first step on a road to war with Iran.
And I think that vote today, which Senator Biden and Senator Dodd voted against, and they were correct to vote against it, is a clear indication of the approach that all of us would take with the situation in Iran because what I learned in my vote on Iraq was you cannot give this president the authority and you can’t even give him the first step in that authority because he cannot be trusted.
Watch the video:

Barack Obama DID NOT VOTE AT ALL on Lieberman-Kyl, because he was at a campaign event in New Hampshire. This is after all his rhetoric about how he would have voted against the Iraq war!
Please support the only major Democratic candidate who will keep us out of another war. Please support John Edwards!
It is almost the end of the fundraising quarter. Can you give to help put an anti-war president in the White House?

No, I am not on her bandwagon, I am undecided. Frankly, I find it more interesting that Obama didn't think this bill was important enough to be present for.
Democrats that think Hillary Clinton will bring us peace need to read the following article about Bush advising Clinton quietly on the war:

Also, if you don't think the Clintons are close to the Bushes, check out this photo on the White House web site.
Do you want more of the same or not? That is the question, if not you should be picking Edwards. Obama is not leading, and has built his platform on bi-parisan views and jumping the aisle, that also is chosing the middle.
IF you want a new direction, if you want change - then the only answer is Edwards.
If you want more of the same, vote Clinton.
If you want rhetoric about change, but more of the same in reality, vote Obama.
If you want to cast a meaningless protest vote for change, vote Kucinich or Gravel.
If you actually want REAL change, vote Edwards!
Pandering - is to chose to do nothing rather than rolling up you sleeves and helping in NOLA, and across the county,
Pandering - is ignoring the fact that millions don't have health care and when JOHN EDWARDS put forth a dynamic plan you still take months to get one out, and take all the credit for it.
I could go on and on. Pandering-Edwards NO, you use the word to suit yourself and continue to drink the kool-aid. IMO
