Democrats sided with Bush on the wars ... and all his policies.
Another enduring rightwing myth. Most Democrats in Congress voted against the Iraq war resolution.
Another myth is that the resolution was to go to war with Iraq at all - it wasn't. Congress passed (with almost unanimous Republican support, with the majority of Democrats opposed) a resolution granting President Bush to use any and all means necessary to disarm Iraq, if Iraq failed to comply with UN inspections regimes.
Not 30 days before Bush ordered the invasion, the head of the UN inspection team reported that Iraq was in material compliance with the inspections, and UN forces were already overseeing the destruction of a bunch of medium-range missiles that were banned by a previous UN resolution.
But at this point, it hardly matters, since Bush is out of office and the war is fait accompli.
The more interesting tactic to me, is that so many right-wingers on here keep decrying any reference to Bush - who just left office this fracking year as if it's somehow no longer relevant.
Yah... just like we never heard anything blamed on Clinton once Bush took office....
Note.. you should actually try and understand terms of cease fire... does not do much good if the opposition violates and all is wiped out if they say "we agree to the next inspection" as you are about to make them pay... then they violate again... and right before action all is wiped out because they say they will cooperate again
We were fucking justified to take them out the very minute the first violation of the cease-fire agreement happened...
More newbie fucking morons.... jeez...
