Of course the invasion is his responsibility since he's the only person that can give authorization for invasion.

So, we're in a dictatorship now? The part of the Constitution that talks about Congress declaring war was repealed?

I should clarify, he is the only one that can give FINAL authorization.

Nope, a constitutional republic.

Nope, Congress declared war in a manner they chose by authorizing the CIC to execute war on Iraq if warranted. The CIC deemed it warranted and exercising the authoirty granted him by Congress, in turn authorized the military to wage war on Iraq.

All very constitutional.

Don't worry about it. The Constitution goes right out the window as long as a Republican as in office because 'we' are in control or some nonsense.

"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong," Bush said.

How long did that take? Three years?

Good catch, and one might have added, a congress apparently unwilling, or unable to do their job properly and so placing additional burden on the executive branch of government to get the job done that congress said needed to be done but just couldn't muster the courage to issue the declaration. What a bunch of petunia's.
