No doubt in my mind--getting Congressional or Senate approval for military action in Iraq was only window dressing. It had absolutely no impact on their decision to invade. They were going in anyway, and nothing was gonna stop them. Not the UN saying there's no WMD's, not the urging of a peace-loving world, and not even an unreported, last minute cave-in by Saddam.
And now, look what's happening with Iran. They are setting this up bigtime. They know Congress and the American public won't give their stamp of approval. But it really won't matter in the end, will it? We're getting the conveeeeenient stories about "Americans getting attacked," about (yawn) Iran's connection with the terrorists and about Iran funding Iraqi IED's. Our ships are moving in, and we're only one more "provocation" from dropping a few bombs in there. When Iran then responds, we'll officially be "under attack."
At least now I feel a little better about some of the horribly disappointing Dems who voted to authorize the Iraq Invasion. The Vote didn't effect the decision to invade Iraq and won't matter in the decision to attack Iran. That's why they won't even ask for a vote this time. After all, it's not like they'd let a little negative feedback get in the way of a good invasion. The only question on the table for the pols in office today is what are you gonna do about stopping this pResident from forcing his way in?
