Not that I trust Hillary... and she was certainly foolish to Trust Bush. But was the AUMF really a vote for war?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027740332 Yes, ONLY if certain conditions were met. But Bush didn't meet those conditions. He never got UNSC approval and he lied about the terrorist connection.
