I’m told by a C-SPAN junkie that last night at a labor candidates’ forum in Philly Gephardt

defended his vote on Iraq war–THEN went after administration for being

too soft on the Saudis. He said–don’t quote me on these quotes, but they give you the flavor–said they must be “confronted” because they fund terrorists and “this administraiton will never do that.” It apparently got a lot of applause. Thank goodness that someone is willing to lead on what should be the next battle in the war on terror. Who knows? Maybe the Bush administration will eventually catch up…
