Lets just stick with the answer and not your childish version.....here is the pertinent part of the resolution you're not familiar with....IN RED
SEC. 3. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.
(a) AUTHORIZATION- The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to--
1. defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq ; and
2. enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq .
Don't come crying like a child with the "I didn't know what I voted for" bullshit....
Or the "I thought he would just call Saddam bad names" or some such bullshit....
The Congress, Republicans and DEMOCRATS both, voted to support Bushs lead as he determines to be necessary and appropriate...PERIOD, END OF STORY.
THAT IS HISTORICAL FACT AND NO PUSSY, ADOLESCENT CRYING EXCUSES FOR THE VOTE WILL CHANGE THESE FACTS....
They read the resolution, I read the resolution and YOU SHOULD READ THE RESOLUTION....it says nothing about about selective air strikes. It places no limits on Bush whatsoever....and rumors of invasion with ground forces were common knowledge in Washington.
They knew exactly what they were voting for and those that claim otherwise, are irresponsible liars and/or unfit to be in the Congress of the US....
\
So they did vote to invade, to bomb, to attack with missiles, tanks, firecrackers, stones, bricks, bb guns, forks, knives, or whatever Bush thought necessary.
