It doesn't matter if John Kerry thought Saddam had WMD. What matters is what Clinton keeps saying which is that Idiot Son refused to LET THE INSPECTIONS WORK.

Kerry or the other Democratic senators who gave authorization for force did NOT give authorization for an invasion at the time Idiot Son decided to invade.

The key is that Idiot Son didn't LET THE INSPECTIONS WORK TO FIND OUT THERE WERE NO WMD.

1. Not a good excuse for Dems who had every chance to listen
to Senator Byrd and understand EXACTLY what was going on.

2. Thank you.
The Senate voted to give Bush authority to invade if Inspections were exhausted or if WMD was found.

Instead, but takes the vote as a green light and sets up the ground war.

3. I voted with my feet that Feb. along with 10m other people.
the problem is reality means nothing to the majority. You say WAR! and they yawn.
They are still yawning. MY daughter just turned 5 and she has been to 5 protest marches
an 2 vigils. I not patting myself on the back- I'm just wondering what the fuck is the matter with this dumb ass nation.

4. More simply, what matters was the fixing of intelligence.
It doesn't matter who thought what. It doesn't matter who was right. An administration that fixes intelligence to sell its case for war is corrupt.

5. Clinton??
Sorry, I didn't hear either Clinton saying Bush should let the inspections continue when Bush invaded. Maybe I missed it, got a link?

6. What matters is that thousands of people died needlessly.
Which is what the collaborationist Democrats agreed to. And, still support.
