1) Bush is the criminal - he ignored/manipulated the law to suit his agenda;
2) Not one Dem voted to invade Iraq - they voted to compel Saddam to adhere to UN resolutions

Read the freakin bill sometime ... it's here http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d107:HJ114 :

(c) WAR POWERS RESOLUTION REQUIREMENTS.—
(1) SPECIFIC STATUTORY AUTHORIZATION.—Consistent with
section 8(a)(1) of the War Powers Resolution, the Congress
declares that this section is intended to constitute specific statutory
authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of the
War Powers Resolution.
(2) APPLICABILITY OF OTHER REQUIREMENTS.—Nothing in
this joint resolution supersedes any requirement of the War
Powers Resolution.

BTW - at the same time the GOP was the majority and a lot of Americans were buying gas masks and kits because the entire country was overcome with fear - partly due to 9/11, but primarily due to Bush/the GOP's unending drumbeat of they are out to kill us. It was not until much later that we learned that they were full of $hit.
