Nobody is using those quotes to justify anything. Those quotes are to dismiss the CRAZY and IGNORANT idea that the democrats were innocent little lambs when it came to Iraq.
Not only did they beat the drums of war over WMDs prior to Bush getting elected and well up to the war, but the Democrat leadership also voted to give Bush the authority to go into Iraq.
I guess I was wrong. It's not a case of you just being ignorant, it's a case of you being a partisan cheerleader.
They weren't innocent little lambs.

Meh. They could have put up a fight and didn't. It's a sin of omission, but I'm not about to let them off the hook for that. Of course, with the mass hysteria gripping the country in those days (thank you, Rupert effin' Murdoch), it took more backbone than your average career politician possesses to vote no.
Besides, it was going to be a cheerful little war: A few eeks of fighting, greeted as liberators, home in time for tea and medals. And for the politicos, tons of photo ops looking concerned walking among the stockpiles of deactivated chemical weapons.
The terrorists, insrugents, etc have been waiting there all the time. They just kept their heads low and chatter quiet. With Obama announcing his intent, he forced them to come out. Now we can track and see their movements and communication.

The roots of ISIS go back to Oct. 15, 2006, when what is known as the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) was established.
