... anyone with two functioning brain cells could SEE that this vote was the last puzzle piece Bush** was assembling before he attacked.

Look, the administration's rhetoric and actions leading up to the "war" were as blatant, telling and ominous as they could possibly be.

There was no ambiguity, there was only a stream of forced talking points, most half truths at best, and a literal military buildup on the ground.

I'm simply not going to accept that LAME ASSED EXCUSE that the IWR was not an "authorization" to go to war, it fucking most certainly was, BY DEFINITION. Because Bush** used it as one, and EVERYONE WITH TWO BRAIN CELLS KNEW HE WOULD, HE WASN'T EXACTLY HIDING IT.
