<blockquote><blockquote><blockquote><blockquote>The Iraq Liberation Act signed by Clinton was pushed through by a few members of Congress. </blockquote><br />The vote was 360 for to 38 against with 36 not voting.<br /><br /><a href="http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1998/roll482.xml">http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1998/roll482.xml</a><br /><br />Not what I would call a 'few'. </blockquote><br />The Iraq Liberation Act like ALL legislation passed is led by a few people who get it through the proper committees and then get it onto the floor for a vote. When it was finally put up by the House and Senate it had gone through the process, and was a non-controversial bill so there was hardly any partisan politics playing around that would delay it. Most people in Congress agreed Saddam was a bad guy so it was passed overwhelmingly. That doesn't mean "a few members of Congress" didn't push it through. </blockquote><br />In other words, only hold Republican accountable when they vote FOR senseless war, but not Democrats? <br /><br />That's what I'm hearing at least. An excuse a minute, I swear. </blockquote><br />The Iraq Liberation Act did not authorize a war.<br /><br />You could look it up.<br /><br />Democrats held Hilary Clinton to account in 2008 by not giving her the nomination. Her vote in favor of the war in Iraq was the most important factor in that outcome.<br /><br />Would Al Gore have been crazy and stupid enough to use 9/11 as an excuse to invade Iraq? I can't say for sure and neither can anyone else. Then again I'm not sure 9/11 would have happened if Gore had been elected and we had an Attorney General who was more concerned about terrorism and less concerned about tits on statues.
