Reply #22: for a lie [View All]

they died there for a lie.
But, what upsets me is how people here can dismiss democrats who voted in favor of this war in Iraq, because they voted for this war.
They voted based on the information and intelligence that was given to them and those lies pointed towards Iraq being a threat.
They made a mistake, one they can't go back and fix.

It's easy for folks like Wes Clark who never had to vote to sit on the sideline and just look the way the political wind blows and then pick the side that gets the most votes or popularity.
It takes guts to vote one way and then have to stand by your vote.
