Reply #44: It was an important part of the political cover to go to war

and EVERYONE damn well knows that.

He also tried to get the UN to go along and they wouldn't

Now that the dems were stupid enough to authorize force, they are also painted and smeared with shit, all according to plan.

Anyone who wants to parse what might or might not have happened without the IWR doesn't remember how this unfolded,....right before the November elections, forcing a vote in congress.

I remember Vietnam clearly, and I and MANY MILLIONS of americans saw this one becoming Vietnam before the invasion....and MILLIONS protested and demanded that congress NOT rubber stamp this craziness.

All the 'oh the IWR didn'nt make any difference' apologists for the IDIOT dems who voted for it....I don't listen to them very much anymore.
