Some Democrats (not a majority in either the House or Senate if I recall) are complicit for their role in not insisting on access to all the intel before voting on the Iraq resolution....but, ace, as you said elsewhere....the buck stops at Bush's desk.

Was Korea a non-threat?
Vietnam?
Panama?
Cuba?
Mexico?
Libya?
(Just to name a few 'little' wars)
You know since the only war the Democrats approve of is WWII as far as I know, and I'd much rather have these 'little' wars than WWIII thanks.
Non-threat my ass.
