"The October 11, 2002 resolution that authorized President Bush to use force in Iraq passed the Senate by a vote of 77 to 23, and the House by 296 to 133."
A joint resolution was necessary for the President to have any credibility at the table. It was not a directive to invade on the basis of questionable intelligence. |

Specifically, he said that he was wrong when he appeared before the UN Security Council on February 5, 2003...
...it turned our that the sourcing was inaccurate and wrong and in some cases, deliberately misleading ================================= He said he was wrong and the sourcing was wrong. Where did he said he lied? You source from David Corn of The Nation as though he wrote a "news" story. |

Powell acknowledged--finally!--that he and the Bush administration misled the nation about the WMD threat posed by Iraq before the war.
I read fine. What's your problem? |

Yes, we agreed.
Right after Bush, Powell and other republicans lied about Iraq's WMD's. |

Why do liberals forget the decision to invade Iraq was virtually a universally agreed plan? Agreeable to almost all free countries and even to "American" liberals. There was no dispute at the time that invading Iraq was the right thing to do.
The October 11, 2002 resolution that authorized President Bush to use force in Iraq passed the Senate by a vote of 77 to 23, and the House by 296 to 133. The Iraq War was the defining issue of the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign. All of the Republican candidates and most of the Democratic candidates supported the war, although most of the Democrats also criticized the war's prosecution. |

I don't mean to sound so harsh, but "Hope" is a crap policy. Hope exists in the imagination and counts on the actions of OTHERS to make things happen.
One can sit there and "Hope" all they like, but Hope accomplishes absolutely nothing. If anything, it works against you, because passive inaction allows your foes to work against you. Spreading "Hope" is spreading passive inaction. Encouraging those you are aligned with to sit and wait for things to happen to them, "hoping" they don't turn out too badly. |
