(13,240 posts)You can provide citations of the Bush administration making claims about 1441 until you're blue in the face, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with whether Democrats in October 2002 should have known that a vote for the IWR was a vote for invading Iraq. The Bush administration made more false claims than any of us can shake a stick at. Not one false claim excuses a member of Congress for approving and providing political cover for the invasion of Iraq. If they failed to see the case for war was bogus, they are incompetent.
Your 2nd paragraph makes even less sense. Essentially you are arguing that since Bush would have invaded no matter what, the Democrats were correct to endorse it in advance.
Is it possible you actually belive we SHOULD have invaded Iraq in 2003?
