And ponder this....
The Senate was split 49-49, with one independent. The democrat senators voted 29/21 for the invasion. They could have stopped it, but didn't.
And 82 House democrats voted for the invasion. The 82 votes taken away from the "yay" side would have made the official H.O.R. tally 133/208.
This invasion could not have happened without a lot of democrat congress people authorizing it. To blame it on Bush after being shown this information time and time again makes me wonder if you even are interested in the truth.
I originally asked for a transcript of this video, but in looking for one, found out that is was a hoax put out by the onion news source. Pretty well done. Had I had a better internet connection, that let me view youtube without stopping every few seconds, I would have known it was a hoax when he said that "The Air Force will be trained to fight these <classified> due to their enormous size and otherworldy strength..."
The invasion could never have happened if Bush had not given the order. Congress can approve, but it was Bush that had to give the order. After all he mislead everyone ... probably even himself. We know from his years in the White House he did not go easy on people who told him what he did not want to hear.

He is the commander in chief. I don't see how anyone can object to this statement of Crabtownboy's.
... We know from his years in the White House he (George W. Bush) did not go easy on people who told him what he did not want to hear.
What I object to is partisan hackery. Crabtownboy and many of his ilk have called this "Bush's" war. Like Bush did the whole thing himself, and is soley responsible for it.

Who gave the order to send the troops into Iraq?
In which administration was the Patriot Act passed that opened the door, unconstitutionally I believe, that US citizens could be detained without being charged?
Who signed into law the Patriot Act?
It would be very hard to defend President Bush as he was the commander and chief that sought to send us to war.

Would appreciate a link
I certainly agree that both parties hold some accountability. However if what President Bush did was a capitol offence he would-be executed and those on the other side would get probation.Another strawman. Demanding accountability from both sides is hardly defending anyone.
Who promised to withdraw troops from Iraq by March 2009 ?
The U.N.. You have been shown this. Bush could not order troops anywhere. This was a U.N. deal. That's why we weren't the only nation there. You remember the other nations. Did Bush lie them into Iraq, as well ? :laugh:
The second question, Clinton used part of it to put John Gotti in jail, justifying the wiretaps & other civil rights violations with the same language written into the Patriot Act. This, also, you have been shown.
Third...Senator Russ Feingold of Wisconsin was the only senator who voted against the Patriot Act on October 24, of 2001. Senator Landrieu (D-LA) did not vote
In the house 145 democrat representatives voted to pass the act.
In both the senate & the house, democrat opposition would have stopped the bill from ever getting to Bush's desk.
Why are you so eager to help the democrats wash their hands of this ?
