So Boxer says AQ wasn't in Iraq before the war?
If AQ wasn't in Iraq prior to the war, how come the War Resolution specifically states they were in Iraq. This was signed in 2002!
For some time now, Congressional Democrats have complained that the war in Iraq has drawn Al Qaeda to the region and that the jihadists were not in Iraq prior to the war.
This position is at odds with the Democrat's own words in 2002 when they demanded that an Iraqi war resolution be written and passed by Congress which specifically stated that Al Qaeda jihadists were known to be in Iraq.
Every major Democrat of note signed the War Resolution below which states the exact opposite of what they are now complaining about.
This is what the War Resolution states:
"Whereas member of al Qaida, an organization bearing responsibility for attacks on the United States, its citizens and interests, including the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, are known to be in Iraq; Iraq continues to aid and harbor other international terrorist organizations, including organizations that threaten the lives and safety of United States citizens; the attacks on the United States of America on September 11, 2001 underscored the gravity of the threat posted by the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by international terrorists organizations; we the undersigned, etc.

I have just returned from school with Kailey...
and I see Sen. STevens on the floor, saying that work on the defense bill is halted because of a "procedural debate"...does anyone know anything about that?
See what is happening, these bills get held up like this..then time starts running out in the fiscal year..and before Holiday breaks...so they end up with the biggest pork-laden OMNIBUS BILL....we have seen...and there is no way to got through it and figure out what is going on.
But that was before the Dims discovered Bush lied to them. Never mind that Clinton, Kofi, the UN inspectors, and a whole lot of other people were saying the same thing. BUSH LIED. IT'S ALL BUSH'S FAULT! (sarcasm)
One thing I get a kick out of from Sean is when he baits libs with quotes from Clinton then badgers them. "Did Clinton lie? Was Clinton lying. You say Bush is lying. Clinton said the exact same thing. Was he lying?"
