Biden defends Democrats' OK of Iraq war

snip

It wasn't necessarily failed intelligence, Biden said, but misuse of it. He defended his vote, saying it was a directive to the United Nations to keep sanctions on Iraq. If not, the United States would have the permission to act.

"Up to this time, Bush had acted rationally," Biden said. "Everybody says they knew he would not keep the spirit of the agreement. Not true. Go back and read the major editorials of the liberal newspapers in America. He had acted rationally in Afghanistan. He didn't go to war immediately - he built the bill of particulars."
