13. They were never really in Iraq to the extent claimed. Its called smoke and mirrors

Futher, there has been an increased military presence as evidenced by the number of US troops that have been killed over the last year and coupled with an enforced curfew, that has caused a downward swing in violence.

The administration fabricated a lot of the information regarding Iran's involvement in Iraq.

That amendment did nothing to put any pressure on Iran. It is an instrument to permit war by loophole.

Jim Webb, Joe Biden and many others agree with my position. http://thinkprogress.org/2007/09/25/webb-kyl-lieb-iran/

You obviously have problem with reading comprehension and examining the big picture. Also forward thinking on your part is obviously lacking.

The reason that others have apologized for their Iraq war vote is that it gave bush the green light to go forward. While the resolution contained tacit discussion regarding UN action, Bush accelerated the time frame, used propaganda regarding WMD to push the fear buttons and launched strikes on Iraq. The ONLY think tha prevented him from doing that this time was the NIE.
