Reply #46: ...not trying to be snippy... [View All]

I personally was against the IWR and had I been in a position to vote on it, would have voted against it.

The IWR is a many-pronged resolution that some politicians saw as a way to support the President in that political time with the ashes of the WTC still burning.

It would certainly make an interesting documentary to interview all those that participated in the vote. In some instances, the opinions and reflection now would be a deal-breaker for many that would see how that person's opinion may have evolved or not over time.

What is tragic about the IWR is how its intentions were not even followed... Bush went ahead and did what he had already planned oon doing, as the Downing Street memos indicate.

I don't think there is binary logic that if you voted for the IWR that you voted "for the war". It's a lot more complicated than that.

I also actually appreciate your input here at DU more than you think. Being snippy is not my intention.
