Some people on this forum are trying to make the point that because certain people were not in the House or Senate, their speeches or views on the Iraq War in 2002 should be dismissed.
I find this strongly disturbing and outrageous. Both Gore and Obama (and many others) spoke out against the Iraq War from the start. Their judgments should not be suppressed because they were not in the Senate/House and did not actually vote on the war. I am glad that we have some politicians who stood up, when it was considered political suicide by many, and spoke out with conviction against the treacherous policy that Bush implemented with his granted authority.
