Indeed, when the question of using military force against Iraq was put before the U.S. Congress, 110 Democrats supported the 2002 Joint Resolution, which authorized President Bush to act as he ultimately did.
Further, some very outspoken Democrats during that time said these sort of things including President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, and Senator John F. Kerry.
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."—From a letter signed by Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Milulski, Tom Daschle, & John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998
Well, Iraq was a checkered exercise, but too, the now disloyal opposition had a hand in it.
If only the Swimmer were alive to see Obamas quagmire in Iraq.
Of course when Clinton was in the White House they said it.
Liberals around the world had a hand in the loss of life in Iraq .
Everybody that took part in STOP the war rallies actually were aiding the enemy.
The bad guys many times had their backs against the wall the first year in Iraq, but with every peace protest they actually breathed life into the enemy
And then there was this...if only

After she rushed to the podium to get her "Aye" vote on the record for the "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002", she then claimed she didn't really think that Bush was actually going to use military force.
I've been reminding Obama and Clinton apologists of this all weekend
Encourage the Islamists to kill each other. Encourage the Sunni Shite hatred. The Western world is at war with Islam. We will need to defeat them at some point. Let them kill each other, will save us from doing it. We will convert the survivors to Christianity.
bump...
The only person standing between Obama and his well-deserved Impeachment is crybaby Speaker of the House, John Boehner, PERIOD.
“Don’t forget to remember Democrats who lied about Iraq!”
and while we’re at it let’s not forget George W and his WMD! I’t easy to Monday QB but the fact is he didn’t have sufficient evidence and the world was better off with Saddam Hussein, who kept his oil flowing and was a buffer against Iran.
And the Ba’athists were secular socialists, not Muslim extremists.
You really do need to click the link above and read the whole thing.
Those same Commie bastard “antiwar” protesters are NOWHERE today decrying the war crimes and FOREIGN invasion that is going on in Iraq today.
Same as they were silent when their pals in the North Vietnamese military took over Vietnam.
Hillway also took the floor of the Senate in February 2002 (a few months after 9/11) and declare “BUSH KNEW!”.
That woman is hysteric.
