Reply #53: You dont understand what the IWR was. [View All]

[K-W]

It wasnt about promises. The IWR didnt give Bush the keys to the military, Bush was commander and chief, he already had one.

The IWR simply said that congress would OK the use of force in Iraq under certain specific conditions.

Bush used force outside of those conditions. He did not use the IWR at all, except as a political smokescreen.

Kerry believed the IWR was good policy and still does. That Bush chose not to follow the policy and abuse his positon as commander and chief has nothing whatsoever to do with the IWR.
