Reply #99: There is a point that YOU aren't factoring in. Bush was going in anyway. [View All]

He had a contingency plan to go in using the original UN res from 1991.

That would have given him the stronger legal argument, too.

But, their purpose was to divide the Dem party before the elections.

The Dems doing the actual negotiating on the IWR were charged with putting on SOME guidelines that needed to be met. THEY were the ones who put weapons inspections into the IWR. They got Syria and Iran taken OUT and off the agenda as targets.

Those Dems stuck doing the negotiating to get a better resolution than the REAL blank check Bush wanted should not be vilified. Their's was no glorious task. They would only get scorn from all corners and used....but...they got a helluva lot better resolution than without their efforts. And the historic record was helped by the report of the weapons inspectors who did get in.

Impeach Bush BECAUSE of the IWR and his lies to circumvent and even obstruct its guidelines. Blaming the IWR helps only ONE agenda.
