actually, the "final say" is the person, in retrospect, who did, in fact, have the "final say". That would be Bush in this case.
Ok .... yesterday, talking to Thingy.....sorry about that....
Yeah, and I'll stick with it....because Bush sought approval and I believe would NOT have acted alone without approval, Congress did, in fact, have the final say...
also recognizing that Bush did make the final call because Congress cannot really FORCE the president to go to war ..... he must agree
Congress can only force a president to not go to war.....follow that ?
So you see, its not a flip flop at all is it....
Now with the War Powers Act and other legislation, a president could use military force and seek approval later in an emergency, ie imminent danger to the country,
course, Obama don't count, he can do anything he wants, ignoring that law.
this documentary will PROVE why we went to war with Iraq.
PROVE
not suggest
PROVE,
they have complete documentation.
Guess you must have forgot all those democrats that voted for it as well.
Jesus Christ - what the hell is the matter with you?
Uh....Bush, if not for Congress, because Congress approved this & that, and a decision could not be made without such & such, and he really didn't think much, because Congress did this, and uh...well, Congress this and that.
For god's sake man - BUSH DECIDED TO INVADE IRAQ. There was no hurry, no compelling reason - inspections were working. No one in Congress was pushing him, or calling him out for waiting so long, or mandating anything. BUSH DECIDED TO INVADE IRAQ.
What the hell is the matter with you?
What does that even mean?
You guys are getting it partially right now, at least. BUSH DECIDED. That's really all that matters in terms of history. Congress gave him the authority to use force - but they didn't say he had to use it, or define what kind of force. In fact many, even Republicans, expressed that they hoped he wouldn't have to, and that if he did, it would be along the lines of airstrikes.
So, when it came to actually invading, and rushing to war - that was all Bush. 100%. His call, his war.
Again - sorry about that. I know you wish some Dems helped him decide; but they didn't.

LMAO; this is your brain on stupid....don't do stupid.
So basically what you're saying is that they told him YES; but then said "Well we didn't think he was really going to do ahead with it"??

Nothing says "im a terrible forum debator" like stating" ............."THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON STUPID...........DON'T BE STUPID"..................
I don't understand this and it happens all day on this forum.
If you want to debate a topic then debate it. This clearly has nothing to do with the topic.
If you want to look like a 12 year old then you are solidifying your image.
You do realize that "The biggest insult doesn't win the Debate" (R)ight? Information wins the debate........and "you're stupid" isn't information..
OK, I'll go slow here; because obviously you're just looking for something to complain about.
You said:
I then responded, with:
Now, here's where you really do have to focus; OK.
His avatar looked similar to Dr. Manhattan in the movie The Watchmen.
Here's a clip:
Does that sooth your hurt feelings?
Or how about someone making an asinine comment and then running away?
Explain my comment and debate me
I'll stay awake for it
It was already started.
Go to the link of my quote and defend the comment your small brain left.

What the fuck are you talking about, you stupid braindead fuck?
They didn't say "yes" to any plan. They gave him authorization to use force if necessary; he took it from there. You don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Wrong again shit-for-brains; they knew perfectly well what thy were voting for. But you're an idiot stuck on a special brand of stupid.
Even Dick Armey disagrees w/ you.
I'm just amazed at the lengths you worshippers are going to on this thread to protect Bush from accountability. What do you owe that guy? He doesn't care; he owns the decision to invade Iraq & is proud of it.
It's weird & surreal to hear you idiots tripping over yourselves trying to pretend it wasn't his call.
So you can't explain to me what topic I'm wrong about, you just know I'm wrong.
