Reply #18: They were briefed yes and based on the briefings and in one situation I am aware of consulted

the Secretary of the State at that time- Colin Powell. We know what way the newspapers were leaning during that period of time, so if Mr. Obama was getting his information from this source, it was all pro-Bush and going after those who might of harmed us. As for those US Senators who voted for the resolution, they based their decisions on what they felt was best for this country and t's people. Those that voted for the IWR could have been just as right as they were wrong.Personally, I would rather vote for a Democrat that erred on the side of protecting our country. As I said, things could of turned out differently.
But, I still love you too and I don't want you to think I don't like Senator Obama. I am just pointing out that no one is perfect. Actually, I am not taking sides in the primaries. I will ultimately vote for any one of our fine Dem candidates in the general election.
