SOME legislators in the Senate and Congress are stuck negotiating with the White House. Kerry was one of those people because he worked with Clinton on Iraq in 98.
They negotiated for Bush to keep the UN in the loop and put the inspectors back in and have Bush present evidence to the UN. To extract those promises from Bush it cost them their support. Most of them wanted the Biden-Lugar bill, but, Gephardt signed on to the Iraq resolution before negotiations were completed by the others and B-L could even be voted on. But, they did their part. Bush is in deep shit today because of his over reach on the evidence that he "promised" to present.
