Reply #32: I see no useful purpose in focusing who voted for that authorization...

Stopping it is where I choose to focus my efforts.

And I sure as hell don't think some repuke would try to end it. In fact, they'd keep it going on the same course that bush does now. If Hillary wins, at least I know a smarter person with better values than bush will be in the WH and I think she would at the very least she would work hard to end it, bring our troops home safely and responsibly, and deal with that whole Iraq mess with diplomacy as it should have been a hell of a long time ago.

We are where we are and all the bitching about a vote years ago isn't going to change a thing. It's the here and now we need to worry about. It's the future we need to worry about. Keeping an eye on the past doesn't hurt, but we only damn ourselves when we're not looking at anything else.
