It's the Democrats that have made WMDs the "main reason for invading Iraq", but only after the fact. Anyone that's interested in the truth can read the President's speech to the UN and his State of the Union prior to the war. He stated plainly - and to applause - that we were going to free the people of Iraq and bring Democracy to the Middle East.

Even without WMDs, the Iraq War is one of the most justified wars in the history of the country.

WHO are you going to vote for???
The other two are worse...and KBH did NOT say that she would pull the troops.
I AM SHOCKED and ANGRY that she said that...but, we will just have to do what others in the USA are having to do...hold our noses and vote for the Republican candidate.
She has already said this is her last term....

Another cut and run conservative. She should be proud of her vote.

Absolutely. Our enemies are fighting our soldiers. The resources they've been expending there have left them unable to attack the US mainland for over 5 years.

I'll still vote for her. She merely showed herself to be a coward who lacks the courage of her convictions, pretty much the norm among the spinless pubbies. The dem would be worse.
Sadly, this election reminds me of the old joke that ends with the punchline "coffee break's over-back on your heads!". We have to remember that being ankle-deep in $hit is not as bad as standing on our heads in it. Stinks either way, though.

Before the war, all the Democrats could say is that he kept changing the reasons for going to war (no he didn't- there were so many reasons for going to war that it was tough to fit them all in one speech). Now, WMDs were the only reason, there own rhetoric be damned.

Hutchison, a senator for more than 13 years, also said she would not have voted for the United States to invade the country in 2003 if she'd known there were no weapons of mass destruction there. It's a big IF. She should have refused to answer such a worthless question
To: WinOne4TheGipper
Presumably this means that Senator Hutchinson had no problem with the Iraqis firing on our pilots, paying bounty for the heads of dead Americans and Israelis, training terrorists and giving sanctuary to Abu Nidal, Abu Abbas, Zarqawi and the likes. Nor is she capable of understanding that all those dead folks in Habalja did not die from natural causes.
But she has endeared herself to the Chris Mathews of the world and may even get an invite on that lefty program. So there is an upside for the good Senator!

No. If my vote meant the difference between Hutchison and Radnofsky, I'd bite the bullet and vote for Hutchison. But it doesn't. Hutchison will win this seat by a fairly wide margin, with or without my vote.

In a followup question from PETA, Hutchison stated that IF rabbits had wings they would not bump their a$$ over the ground!

I heard something that I had forgotten, during a debate the other night.
Ned Lamont said that the vote to go to war in Iraq was done under DEMOCRAT majority...Daschle was the Majority Leader when the vote TO go to war passed.
I know that isn't pertinent to this article..but, I hadn't remembered that.
I do believe that KBH is on the Armed Services Committee...she knows better than to insinuate that the WMDS were the only reason we went.

The WMD issue has never been the deciding factor for me - it was just one more good reason to depose Saddam. I wanted to see Iraq freed and rebuilt as a secular democracy to form a solid US ally in the region and a catalyst and source of support for dissident movements in Iran and Syria.
But it doesn't look like it's going to happen. I'm no expert, but those who are seem to believe the disbanding of the Iraqi army and the de-Baathification of the Iraqi government, combined with insufficient troops on the ground have seriously delayed, if not doomed, the enterprise. I don't believe the US should leave Iraq now, but I do believe the government needs to come up with, enunciate, and execute some clear plan of action to get that place under control.
