This is pretty much how I feel about it as well. The Bush Administration was the group the planned it, packaged it and sold it to congress.

Could congress have no? I not sure they would have. The political climate in Washington at the time was quite different and you can bet that Bush and Co. spent a lot of political capital to make the war happen.

Your version of events makes me dizzy with the amount of spin that is required to even begin to understand them.
