George W. Bush says "Bring Them On." Okay, here they are, dead at Dover Air Force Base.

Do you feel that the evidence behind the imminent threat of Iraq was distorted? Make your voice heard by Congress.

Senator Byrd delivered the following remarks as the Senate opened debate on Senate Joint Resolution 46, a resolution authorizing the President to use whatever force he deems necessary in Iraq or elsewhere.

"The resolution before us today is not only a product of haste; it is also a product of presidential hubris. This resolution is breathtaking in its scope. It redefines the nature of defense, and reinterprets the Constitution to suit the will of the Executive Branch. It would give the President blanket authority to launch a unilateral preemptive attack on a sovereign nation that is perceived to be a threat to the United States. This is an unprecedented and unfounded interpretation of the President's authority under the Constitution, not to mention the fact that it stands the charter of the United Nations on its head."

Then on January 23, 2003, it becomes obvious. They'll be paying for our indiscretion in oil. Thanks to Warblogging.com for the link.

May 7, 2003 - We can't find any weapons of mass destruction, and nobody seems to care in spite of the fact that it's what this war was all about. Right?
