The Senate on Wednesday rejected a move by Democrats to stop the Pentagon from using cluster bombs near civilian targets and to cut off sales unless purchasers abide by the same rules.
But Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, said, "The rules of engagement properly belong with the Department of Defense and the commander in chief." Stevens argued that the amendment would restrict "the ability of our military to use these munitions to protect our people."
Any one find any credibility in that statement for the use of cluster bombs on civilians?
