Bush LIED to get them to agree to the resolution and get his War essentially sending 4000 american soldiers to their death.
For those who care, Ron Paul voted against it.
Ron Paul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quote:
As one of six Republicans to vote against the Iraq War Resolution, Paul (with Oregon representative Peter DeFazio) also sponsored a resolution to repeal the war authorization in February 2003. Paul's speech, 35 "Questions That Won't Be Asked About Iraq",[97] was translated and published in German, French, Russian, Italian, and Swiss periodicals before the Iraq War began.[88]

Oil. Thats what this was all about. Not an immediate threat to the saftey of the united states. and Osama Bin Laden lives on.

OP, does it all make sense now?

Not immediate is where your completely mistaken.

So the Policy of the Repugnantcans is to invade future threats immediately and immediate threats when they get around to it?

Got to love Repugnantcan policy!

Strange that Ron Paul saw through the deception and voted against the resolution. But Biden and Hillary couldn't? Does that mean they're easily deceived? Or just dumb?

Or did they just cave in to their constituents? Hmmm ...

Either way, what a joke. Poor little things were lied to. As if they couldn't see through the smokescreen ...

Yet you Repugnantcans still can't admit blame for the Original Lie.

And for the record, i really don't care that Hillary & Biden were bamboozled by our Commander in Chief, we know better now.

The fact remains that Barack Obama wasn't!

McCain=Bush.

Or, in the case of Iraq, invade when there's no threat whatsoever.

Oh, but there was oil, as others have pointed out ...

I lean towards republican ideals, however that does NOT indicate support for Bush at all. Ron Paul is for returning to the original foundation of the Republican party and ideals, and following the constitution...none of which Bush knows anything about.

Keep it up with the name calling though, that really gets your point across in an adult and respectable way.

No policies aren't implemented to see immediate change.......they almost never have been. Policies like in any business are set for the FUTURE....
