@Womanfor: MY GOD you're a pathetic fool.

You're obviously too dumb to know that MANY wars have begun W/OUT votes in Congress.... Vietnam, Nicaragua, Korea.

However Dumbass, the Iraq war WAS authorized by Congress (HJ Res 114), on 10/16/2002.

Your stupidity is laughable. You can't comment w/out "Bush", but never mind Obama is EXPANDING the wars.

DEMOCRATS begging for action on Saddam / WMDs... in their own words.... even BEFORE Bush was in office: /watch?v=N5p-qIq32m8
