> So who was that on TV constantly boosting the idea and bringing it into the State of the Union address, etc?

Huh? The claim was that congress didn't approve the Iraq war. It did, several times. The above has nothing to do with that fact.

> Are you making the case that the Bush admin doesn't 1,000,000% own the Iraq war? Really?

Do you really think that Congress bears no responsibility for the votes that it takes?

> Just cause Congress got bullied into approving these things doesn't mean they weren't Bush initiatives.

Poor little congresscritters, can't stand up to that mean old moron Bush.

Obama hasn't varied from Bush's Iraq timetable at all. Is he also "bullied"? (As candidate Obama pointed out, President Obama could start withdrawing troops from Iraq and Afghanistan with 10 minutes after taking office. PO didn't.)
