108. He DID support Biden-Lugar
Which was a resolution to go to war. How the hell can he say he was against war with Iraq from the beginning when he supported a resolution which would have allowed war? It makes no damn sense.

And if what I say is uninteresting to you, why do you want my answers?

I've explained to you that the differences at the time ended up being unimportant in the overall picture. Bush focused on the WMD requirement of Biden-Lugar anyway.

And YOU can say Saddam was cooperating with inspectors. Bush said he wasn't. Blix said cooperation wasn't as good as it should be. Bush then said that further diplomacy wouldn't work and getting a further UN resolution wouldn't work and the threat was such that war was justified. That's EXACTLY what he would have said with Biden-Lugar.

Same result.
