They Voted For You: Iraq

U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., was one of only three to vote against an amendment Tuesday "to express the sense of the Senate that it is in the national security interest of the United States that Iraq not become a failed state and a safe haven for terrorists."

Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., voted for the measure.

The amendment, which prevailed 94-3 with three not voting, was added to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008.
