13. Yeah but how many were paying attention
to the Dems and how many to the fear mongering?

I think anyone who really believes that the Dem Senators could have stopped the invasion with a vote are kidding themselves. It would have taken a bipartisan group to stop Bush. And a vote in October had little to nothing to do with invasion. That was a vote to scare Saddam more than anything and make it appear to the public that Bush did every thing he could before invading.

The President had the authority to order the troops in with or without that resolution.
