WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate voted Wednesday to repeal the resolution that gave a green light for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, a bipartisan effort to return a basic war power to Congress 20 years after an authorization many now view as a mistake.

Iraqi deaths are estimated in the hundreds of thousands, and nearly 5,000 U.S. troops were killed in the war after President George W. Bush’s administration falsely claimed that Saddam Hussein was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction.

“This body rushed into a war” that had massive consequences, said Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, a Democrat who has pushed for years to repeal the powers.

Kind of a pointless act at this point isn't it? But then again, that's what mediocre bureaucrats do. They do something, anything, to give the appearance of progress while in actuality doing exactly nothing.
 
Senators voted 66-30 to repeal the 2002 measure and also the 1991 authorization that sanctioned the U.S.-led Gulf War. If passed by the House, the repeal would not be expected to affect any current military deployments. But lawmakers in both parties are increasingly seeking to claw back congressional powers they have given the White House over U.S. military strikes and deployments, and some lawmakers who voted for the Iraq War two decades ago now say that was a mistake.
 
about fucking time. I wondered when those morons were going to realize that too much power in the hands of a president was too much fucking power in the hands of a president. I wonder why it took bidens incompetency to effect this.

This is good because after 20 years you leftists can do something that makes you feel better and we know that's all that really matters right? And maybe for a few seconds we'll get a break from your fucking whining until the wind blows from the wrong direction and you complain how racist the wind is.
