"Subsequently, we learned that the President accepted this CIA estimate based on a single source"

That's not true because we know that British Intelligence had information that Iraqi Officials traveled to Niger to at the minimum inquire about Uranium and we know from the past use and wars that Saddam had unaccounted for chems according to the UN themselves and that's what brought on 1441. No one should have the luxury of convenient memory when it comes to UN 1441. An automatic act of war was when Saddam fired at our pilots patrolling the no-fly zone but that's just a minor issue to many. Not to mention that Saddam never returned at least the body of our pilot shot down during the first Gulf War which was a part of the cease-fire.
Congress authorized the war based on a lot of information so they need to stand by their vote and help win instead of being critics.

Like the rest of us, President Bush was mislead regarding an imminent Iraqi nuclear threat. Unfortunately, he took the country to what appears to be a permanent war without a declaration of war. A Congressional resolution is not a declaration of war.

The American people are very pragmatic. After four years, they ask: Where's the progress? And there is no progress, just body bags.
