30. there is no excuse particularly under the circumstances that existed

To authorize the IWR in light of the secrecy, rush to war, and imposed selective access to intelligence (see above link) was just plain wrong and, quite frankly, negligence. The Congress was the stopgap and they failed miserably. Those that voted yes demonstrated poor judgment and are, therefore, in my opinion not qualified to lead this country.

There is no do-over for those that have died. Making excuses for those that voted yes is simply not acceptable to those of us who feel war is not an equivocal moral issue. No amount of rationalization can undo this tragedy.
