"...I am curious about the reaction."

Long-winded and self-serving like I would expect from a politician.

1. He uses a straw-man arguement as to the reasons why we attacked Iraq OR he never actually listened to Bush's sheeches.

2. It is clear the congressman has never actually read the Kay(?) or 911 report where it is established that Saddam had a chemical weapons program in place AND stockpiles of precursor chemicals, but no actual findable weapons. The fact that this is ignored by the press is no excuse for a congressman.

3. The article is long on history but ignores Iraq's established contacts with Muslim terrorist groups (See the reports mentions above and refer to the Khobar tower bombing).

4. The congressman has never read Article 1, section 8 of the constitution and relies on your ignorance of the same to make a point about Congress' war-making powers.

5. Just ignoring the problem won't make it go away. We tried that and it failed.
