Bush then lied about WMD and declared war. I believe that Congress did not think Bush would go ahead and declare war as quickly as he did, based on deliberate lies.
The vote authorizing President Bush to wage combat operations in Iraq was on October 11, 2002, and Obama wasnt elected until 2004. For all I know, he may have voted "present" if he were in Washington then.
I will vote for Hillary if she runs, but I would be surprised if she wants to put up with all the bullshit that is evidently starting right now. And I consider the internet no more inherently believable than a Murdoch rag - anyone can opine anything, I like to look for actual facts. This is why, I believe, liberal TV and radio does not do as well as right wing media - most liberals I know don't just listen to opinions, they look around for themselves.
