Reply #56: Biden Lugar allowed

[Nicholas_J]

Everything that Bush has done so far, including invasion, occupation, and everything else in order to "Get Rid of WMD's" It asserted the existance of WMD's and allowed the U.S. to invade, and search for them, doing everything that has been done so far, except that when we left, we leave saddam in power, Thats it. It did not demand that only diplomatic measures be used, and in fact it had less focus on the use of diplomatic measures at all. The Biden Lugar Amendment was an addition to the Resolution that was passed, a simple addition to the War resolution that addedd the phrase that regime change would not be allowed. It was the same resolution with an addendum and a stupid addendum at that, as it did not one thing to prohibit invasion or occupation.

It was written in order to get more Democratic Support in the senate.

It allowed the Bush administration to use any degree of force to enter Iraq, occupy Iraq, and search for WMD's regardless of international findings or considerations.

THis is why Dean was quoted ayt the time for supporting UNILATERAL invasion of Iraq, setting a time limit of 30 to 90 ays for Iraq to come clean. If not he approved of the U.S. invading to make the determination itself.

These direct quotes reported by Jake Tapper and others were before the invasion were comnpletely forgeotten once the invasion occured and
a candidate flip flopped and becamew the anti-war candidate.

The media again simply changing the perceptions.
