34. What?
Bush was over reaching the evidence LONG before the resolution was proposed (by Bush). In fact, the reason the resoltuion was even considered was because of Bush's over reaching on the evidence.

I will admit that the war was restricted to Iraq by the resolution, but there is no doubt in my mind that Iraq was all Bush wanted. The bullshit about Syria and Iran was promulgated merely as a threat to those two nations to keep out of it, and as a means of having something to "negotiate" in order to get what he actually wanted.

As for the accounting side of it - well tens of thousands of innocent people may have died, but at least we know how much money was spent killing them!

Very noble.
