What a cowardly thing to do. You could have prevented the greatest calamity in American foreign policy and you voted for it. You knew it was wrong, put it wasnt politically expedient to vote against it. Lick your finger in the air and see which way the political winds blow on that day. Sad...That's why you cowards should never ,ever complain about Iraq. Meanwhile , myself I listened to Dr Ron Paul and opposed this calamity from the get go.

So you voted against America invading Iraq?

BTW, for whom did you vote for president in 2000? Mr Paul ran in 1988 and 2012. that is a big gap.

OP needs to brush up on his history.

22 out of 51 Dem Senators, and 1 GOP Senator out of 48, did the right thing and voted against that 2.2 Trillion dollar fiasco.

FACT.. More than half of DEM Senators voted for war approval. Additional fact, without them the Iraq war would have never been sanctioned. Nice try!

They (as well as a good number of moderate conservatives) voted in support of the war after being told that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Most Americans operate on the belief that the president and his administration won't outright lie to them, or try to manipulate them when the country is in a state emergency. That theory got blown out of the water.

Who cares! I'm not responsible for ANYBODY left or right voting the wrong way.

23 Senators voted they right way and I support them!

The most liberal Senators tended to vote the right way. The most right wing Senators tended to vote the wrong way.

Only some lame ass partisan refuses to give credit where credit is due.

Your disgust is badly misplaced. the greatest tradgedy to befall America is the main stream media's abandonment of the American people to act as the propaganda arm for a socialist regime headed by the Judas goat Obama.

Don't forget the large coalition of nations who also supported the Iraq invasion. Should have invaded Iran instead.

The 2nd biggest blunder was the election of Obama by the news media.

The 3rd biggest blunder was the re-election of Obama by the news media.

American foreign policy is in need of revision in favor of the direction of Paul's isolationism but not that far. We always have the moral obligation to pick up the pieces when Euro states and other nations sit back, encourage situations to fester and then invite America in to solve their problems which if not addressed become our problem anyway.
