IWR vote . . .not only a mistake but a blatant abuse of power

[stellanoir]

On another thread people were congratulating JE for saying his IWR vote was a mistake on MTP.
.
Though it is always refreshing to hear someone admit they were wrong on this colossal blunder it is a mute point on a lot of levels.

The thing that everyone is missing with this "well you voted to give the president the authority to use force against Iraq" accusation always is not inclusive of the operative modifying prepositional phrase. . ."WITH UN APPROVAL."

THE UN NEVER GAVE THAT APPROVAL even after Colin Powell's totally hyped presentation.

14:41 my butt. Inspectors were allowed back in and were doing their jobs.

I would think that if it is pointed out that if those who voted for IWR had known that * was going to not abide by the terms of that resolution they would NEVER have granted him that authority in the first place. Then the whole argument goes POOF.

It then becomes clearly evident that * abused that authority in total willful arrogance versus valuing the wisdom of the representatives of the global community
