You're throwing in the media buzz word 'nuance' in the mix. Just like people throw all the rest of the Iraq war Kerry bullshit in the mix.

He voted to authorize a war and you want to know why. I told you why. I told you it was to enforce UN resolutions OR protect U.S. security. We always have the right to protect ourselves. So that leaves enforcing UN resolutions. What resolutions. The ones requiring Saddam to disarm. Why. Because the UN needs to get serious about weapons of mass destruction around the world and have the teeth to enforce WMD resolutions against any country. Did it work. Yes. We got inspectors in the country and now know Iraq didn't have WMD. That's more than we knew a year ago. Did Bush need to go to war over it, doesn't look like it. But he wanted a war and he lied to get it. This is Bush's war. He didn't need to start it.

Just like when FDR was given the declaration of war in 1941 and didn't invade Europe until 1944. If events had changed in between those times, FDR would have had a responsibility to not follow through with military force. That is the President's job.

How many times do you want to go through this?
