11. AND... they can't account for the money now. There was no clear
spending plan and the much of the money is missing, or unaccounted for.

As for voting for the war in the first place... "I was misled by this President, just as the nation was, just as Tony Blair was and others around the world were. This President did not tell us the truth. He exhagerated the threat, he lied about WMDs, he led us to believe we would be greeted with flowers, and he placed the word of a convicted extortionist over our own intelligence professionals'. That is why I voted for the IWR."

But, you said if you knew then what you know now, you would still vote for the IWR. "I shouldn't have said that. I mispoke. That would have applied had I been able to trust the President. I thought I could. I shouldn't have trusted him, or given him the power to wage a war. It's like giving a guy the keys to your truck and then finding out he's an alcoholic."
