Post 2 has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton.A great President will not take such a decision as risking American lives lightly. Thus Bush who was a great commander gave the intelligence to the full body of elected officials that the people had chosen, including Democrats like Hilary. Thus Bush did not make the decision on his own, he had the backing of people like Hillary Clinton (who hated him politically). Thus the decision to go to war was an American decision, made by Americas elected officials. So yes you were wrong in post 2, but you can not see this because the truth is that HILLARY VOTED FOR WAR, and will do it again with Russia who stole her firkin emails and might make TV shows around them.Did I say anything in post 2 that is incorrect?He would have been sending in the military against their vote.Regardless of congressional votes, regardless of UN votes, regardless of NATO votes, regardless of anything else, this country has one (1) Commander in Chief at a time, and that one (1) Commander in Chief has the final say about going to war. It is his or her decision.
He or she says "go", we go. He or she says "don't go", we don't go.
Regardless of anything else.
What if they had voted no?
.
But either way, he chose to go.
.
Would he not have been in violation of the Wars Power act? Wouldn't it then be an impeachable offense?
They had a vote, they voted in favor and got the expected results, they are all culpable.
.
The USA does not need a President that Russia can write Saturday Night Live episodes around, like the gefiltefish incident.
President Hillary Gefilte fish goes to the park while Bill stays home with Huma![]()
I can understand that partisan Republicans would want to dilute and deflect for Bush's responsibility for taking us to war, but the fact remains that it was his decision.
