John Kerry voted to wage war against Iraq

70. Your post is 110% accurate! This is *exactly* how it went down.

I'm familiar with how the run-up to the Iraq war began, and I was enraged that Bush refused any evidence showing that Saddam was no imminent threat to the U.S. and that he had no WMD. What angers me about the Democrats was, they trusted this guy. This pResident who was crowned by his daddy's buddies in the SCOTUS was hell-bent on launching war. Which Republican president since Reagan, wasn't?

So what they did, in supposed good faith, was wrongheaded. This is the U.S. Congress. They're not naive. They know the history and they knew about Bush's penchant for dishonesty especially since Cheney was his veep. I knew, long before 9/11 that Bush was intent on launching war with Iraq. I learned this from Liberal blogs like Commoncause and other sources.

The Democrats should have just abstained from voting or voting NO. The Republicans didn't need the Democrats to vote for the IWR since they had a majority, so that was why I am still angry about their votes. They, as the more intellectual party, should have known what this high-school drop-out learned on her own from the Internet - that Bush just needed an excuse to go to war with Iraq. And they gave him one.
