Lol....if you think there's something there that supports your interpretation, then say what it is.
I doubt it....but try and prove it.
I don't have to say, prove, or interpret anything. It's written in the resolution. Read it sometime when you get the opportunity.

For the purposes of showing how Congress gives the President the authority and then defers the actual prosecution of the war to the Commander-In-Chief.....absolutely!
I note you didn't mention all those members of Congress that thought Bush was wrong at the time?
All those who voted against it. Of course, the GOP was in control of both houses of congress and the Republicans voted in almost unanimous lockstep for this Republican measure. If you're interested in the names, you can refer to your own link that you posted earlier.

I mention 'at the time' because we all know how many attempted to re-write history after the war's popularity wained.
There was no history rewritten. The history is clear: Bush lied. Of course, he blames it on "faulty intelligence" but it's common knowledge that there was plenty of accurate intelligence against his case for war. That's the history. None of it has been altered.
"At the time" Bush, Cheney, and Rice had run a months-long campaign of disinformation to manufacture public support for their precious oil war. Congress was part of their audience, too. And their campaign did persuade a few Democrats to vote for the resolution. But many opposed it.
The war's popularity waned when it became obvious Bush, Cheney, and Rice had lied us into a stupid, unnecessary war that benefited the Saudi royal clan, Cheney's Halliburton, and a few other insiders at great expense to the public both in terms of lives and taxpayer funds squandered on an unwinnable quagmire. And had the ultimate effect of making Iran the predominant power in the region.
One need not be brilliant to grasp the depth of incompetence displayed by the Dubyites in this case.

It does not appear to matter what president is in the white house the war goes on
Obama promised an end he pulled out the army but replaced them with blackwater
I guess that you were right since American oil companies were not there and did not make anything from the invasion, except how are they still there if they did'nt?
One would have to be a complete fool to deny that the Iraq war invasion had bipartisan support.. Thats not really something I'd be bragging about to the rest of the world if I was you.
About 10 years ago, I didn't have much internet access to see arguments in the online political community. For those who did, how did conservatives defend GW after no WMDs were found in Iraq?
Ask the Clinton administration who started the talk of "weapons of mass destruction" back in 1996.
Ask the democrat leaders who also started the "WMD" talk in 1996.
Ask the democrats why most of them supported the war in 2001. (They did so because it was politically expedient at the time)
Ask Obama where Syria got the "WMD" that they used on their own people just this year.
It took 19 months of games by Iraq.....plenty of time to ship the "WMD" to Syria.....for our take down of saddam Hussein.

Grow a conscience.
The inconvenient truth for those with blind faith in President Bush is that priorities should have changed on 9/11 yet Bush's remained the same, oust his personal bête noire while ignoring those who actually attacked us.
Technicians from the Muthanna State Establishment (MSE), Iraq’s primary chemical weapons research, development, and production facility, mixed sarin components in R-400 aerial bombs at the Tamuz air base on March 7. MI-8 helicopters from nearby bases were armed with the R-400s and flew sorties against Shiite rebels near Karbala. One account from a senior official suggests that the helicopters dropped 10-20 sarin-filled bombs, although another account suggests that the total may have been as high as 32.
The meme that there was no WMD will go down in history as the height of lefty lunacy, and that is saying something.
Emerson said that consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, but I don't think even Emerson would have been able to swallow this pig.

One would have to be an utter imbecile to assert that the Iraq debacle was the responsibility of anyone other than Bush, Cheney, and Rice. It would be like arguing that congressmen and senators are the commanders in chief. Even Bush bootlickers know better than that.
