WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In a major victory for the White House, the Senate early Friday voted 77-23 to authorize President Bush to attack Iraq if Saddam Hussein refuses to give up weapons of mass destruction as required by U.N. resolutions. Hours earlier, the House approved an identical resolution, 296-133. The president praised the congressional action, declaring "America speaks with one voice." "The Congress has spoken clearly to the international community and the United Nations Security Council," Bush said in a statement. "Saddam Hussein and his outlaw regime pose a grave threat to the region, the world and the United States. Inaction is not an option, disarmament is a must."http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/10/11/iraq.us/
We elected our leaders to represent us.
They sent our troops to war. In reality, every one of us sent them there.
Saddam had WMD, we know that as a fact. The only question is "Where did they go." The burden of proof was on him to prove he no longer had them. WHen he didn't comply, we went in (remember, all Reagan declared was a "cease fire.")
We simply finished a job that nobody else had the guts to do. And now that the "oil for food" info is out- we know why. Ask any soldier how many NEW Russian and French weapons we found over there...
