I was willing to give the administration the benefit of the doubt for a while. I wanted them to make their case. I listened with an open mind. I especially listened when the "highly respected" Colin Powell spoke at the U.N.

I couldn't believe it when I listened to his entire presentation and realized he had NOT made a case AT ALL.

None of them made a case.

They kept saying they knew exactly where the weapons were. But they couldn't/wouldn't tell the inspectors where to look.

If they could have sent the inspectors to ONE SITE where big nasty stockpiles of WMD had been, well, they would have had some credibility. But they didn't.

I am not in Congress. Why was I smarter than the people that voted for the resolution?

Why did I notice, and they didn't, when Bush said over and over again that he would attack Iraq with or without the U.N.?

Cheney, in a speech in August of 02, made it abundantly clear that they were gonna attack Iraq whether anybody approved or not.

If it was obvious to me, why wasn't it obvious to Kerry? And Hillary? And Edwards?

No, these people wanted to vote "safe". They wanted to play both sides of the fence, which is the BIG FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THE DEMS WE HAVE IN OFFICE GODDAMNIT. They have no backbone, no spine, they're a bunch of wimpy-ass yes-men who just want to follow the zeitgeist.

Fuck that. I want them all OUT.

Spinelessness is worse than evil. Spinelessness is a choice.
