30 Senators sign Webb letter on Iran

James Webb sent his letter stating “We wish to emphasize that no congressional authority exists for unilateral military action against Iran” to the White House today. 30 senators total signed on; none were Republicans. Charles Davis has the full text and the list of signatories, noting:

…neither Senator Joe Biden (D-DE) nor Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) signed on, despite their criticism of Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) for voting for the provocative Kyl-Lieberman resolution calling for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to be listed as a “terrorist organization.” In contrast to both Biden and Obama, and in a sign that she has felt the heat over her vote on the Kyl-Lieberman resolution, Clinton signed on to the letter.

I took a look yesterday at the significance of the letter.
