TAMPA, Fla. (JTA) -- Republican senators plan to introduce a non-binding resolution pledging military, economic and diplomatic backing for Israel should it strike Iran. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told JTA on Tuesday that he and Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) were drafting the resolution for introduction next month in the Senate. Graham, attending the Republican National Convention in Tampa this week, said he was seeking Democratic co-sponsors. The resolution would underscore the Senate's hopes for peace and for sanctions to force Iran to make its nuclear program more transparent, he said. "But in the event Israel had to take preventive action, we would have their back," Graham said, in terms of military, economic and diplomatic support.

Obama's in there, he'll sign it! Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.

Hell no.
"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave." Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772
