Just run a local search in the Sandbox for "illegal war". That will generate you plenty of links.

Did the press not do their job? Probably

But let me ask you this: Who in Congress voted aganist the war? Would you believe that the majority of the GOP voted in favor of it and the majority of Democrats voted aganist it? So while what you and JD are saying is true, it is misleading.

The majority of Republicans voted for it and the majority of Democratics voted aganist it. So go research all the past posts you like but try and present the actual facts.

Bush cherry picked intelligence. Bush presented the same case that Clinton did three years earlier.

So yes , he shoved two wars down congresses throat with BS intel. Hillary, Kerry, Edwards all voted for war....under Clinton (they authorized the cruise missile attack on Iraq). Did Bush shove that down their throats?

He linked Saddam with 9/11. A myth created by the press. It never happened until after the war began.

He had the bully pulpit. He was the president but several democrats expressed the belief that it was too bad that Bill did not have that opportunity.

Did the press not do their job? Probably What exactly was the press supposed to do? I know, you wanted them to attack Bush and stop the war. I didn't know that was the job of the press.

Did congress not push back hard enough and ask for better proof? Probably I remember a couple of Congressman going to Iraq to act as human shields for Saddam and some celebrities. I also remember Saddam using school children as human shields. Better watch who you are defending SSOB.

But let me ask you this: Who in Congress voted aganist the war? Would you believe that the majority of the GOP voted in favor of it and the majority of Democrats voted aganist it? So while what you and JD are saying is true, it is misleading. Is it true? I guess it is then. We have the SSOB seal of approval.

The majority of Republicans voted for it and the majority of Democratics voted aganist it. So go research all the past posts you like but try and present the actual facts
. You know someday you might get it right SSOB. In the senate 29 democrats voted FOR the resolution and 21 voted against it. So more democrats voted for the resolution that voted against it and you are wrong. Oh, here is a link to the resolution. You should notice that the resolution comes close to putting some blame on Saddam for 9/11 but it doesn't. (you are wrong again) What it does do is point out the Saddam was supporting Al Qaida and other terrorist groups that had declared war on the US. Page 4 also had a list of the people who voted against the resolution.

Totals.... For Nay

So like I said, the majority of Repubs were for this war and the majpority of Dems were not. I misrepresented nothing.

I never said the majority of Dems in the Senate voted aganist it.

I said the majority of Dems in congress voted aganist it.

What difference does it make that a "majority of Dems in congress voted aganist it" ...

... when both houses of Congress voted FOR IT .... !!!!

May I answer for you? ............. NONE ... ZERO ..... ZIP.

But HE thinks it makes him look smarter than you. He's been doin' it for years. Fooling himself, that is.
