Intelligence reports, cutting funds to the troops

Here’s your Money, Now SURRENDER!



How soon we forget, when we practice the art of selective memory and exploit the war and our troops in battle for political gain.

On October 11, 2002, one year and one month to the day after September 11, 2001, the U.S. Senate voted on whether or not to authorize use of military force to affect the official U.S. policy regarding Iraq. That policy was established by the Clinton administration in 1998, after being rejected along with UN inspectors and 16 broken resolutions, by the Hussein regime. In 2002, 77 Senators voted to authorize use of force to depose the Hussein regime in Iraq and liberate the Iraqi people. They did so believing that the Hussein regime was continuing to develop and pursue bio, chemical and nuclear war technologies that could be shared with a vast international network of terror organizations, making the next attack on U.S. soil potentially much worse than that of 9/11.

In modern politics, 77% agreement is a firm consensus

In the Senate, only 66% is required to over-rule a Presidential veto. This means that 77% solidly believed that they had enough valid intelligence to commit American soldiers to battle, the most important decision any senator can ever make. They would never have committed troops to battle on any less, would they? Did they make this decision strictly on Bush's word - Without doing any of their own homework? I sincerely hope not... Among those 77 Senators were none other than Hillary Clinton (D-NY), John Edwards (D-NC), Christopher Dodd (D-CT) and Joe Biden (D-DE), all of whom are asking for your vote for President of the United States in 2008, all of whom have denounced their vote since and worked to undermine the mission they approved. (Barack Obama was not a Senator until 2005 and had no access to intelligence reports at the time. But he claims 20/20 hindsight.)
