We hear so much crap about how Bush lied about Iraq, etc.
But everyone conveniently forgets that there was a full congressional debate about the matter. And even most Democrats in Congress supported the president’s request to have the war authority.
so my question, should Democrats in Congress who voted for the war in Iraq and bills such as the Patriot Act also be tried as war criminals?
Where will lines be drawn? Obama talks up his courage in opposing the war in 2002 when it was not politically popular to do so. What does he think of his fellow Democrats who did not have his alleged judgement that it would be a mistake to invade Iraq? Aren’t they equally complicit in Bush’s alleged crimes?
“should Democrats in Congress who voted for the war in Iraq and bills such as the Patriot Act also be tried as war criminals?”
It depends on just who they are. Most, like Kerry, were criminally misled by evil criminals. Others, like Joe Lieberman, were mindwarping criminals themselves.
