11. No resolution is going to say the president must be truthful, it expects
Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 08:57 AM by blm
it because presidents are forbidden by law to submit official documents that contain false statements.

The iWR had a specific ref to the UN res which put weapons sinspectors back into Iraq and renewed diplomatic efforts - the president STOPPED their work because it was successfully proving miltary force was not needed. He then submitted a document to congress where he lied to meet the requirement that our national security was under a continued threat from Iraq.

He already had 2 months of current, solid intel from the weapons inspectors and the diplomats working on Saddam's peaceful exit from Iraq, saying the exact opposite.

Thanks to continued focus ONLY on the Dems who supported the resolution, the media and Dem activists have no time and act as if there is no cause to question Bush's violation of that resolution.

So, when Kerry and other Democrats kept saying this was a rush to war, a war of choice, that the weapons inspections and diplomacy were working, let them finish their jobs, the media and many Dems were screaming MORE LOUDLY, "Shut up - you voted for war." "Too little, too late."

.... and all to WHOSE benefit?
