powerclown please don't use the "they voted for the war" arguement. Bush politicized the war and used propaganda on the nation such that no politition could vote against the war. He bound their hands and forced them to vote for it. If the dems would have opposed it they would have been labeled (even more so than they were) as traitor who hate America and a large number of people would have believed it.
If the GOP wouldn't have politicized the war i bet we would have seen a lot more dems opposing it but when a large majority of the american people believed (based on faulty evidence) that saddam had WMD, supported AQ, and helped plan 9/11 how could they possibly oppose it?
The administration asserted that they knew for a fact that saddam has WMD. I'm sorry but if someone says they know something for a fact and later it turns out that it was false then they lied even faulty intelligence was to blame. To say you know something as a fact means you have looked at the intellegence and the validity of it and there is no way that it is false.
