Reply #8: Kerry did say if Bush invaded without taking the proper steps to avoid it, as per UN [View All]

and IWR guidelines, then he would oppose it - and that is what he did. Media helped convince many on the right and left that IWR was a vote for war and gave Bush war powers - it did not. Gonzalez admitted that under oath last summer. That is why they included the signing statement that they did. But they certainly wanted media to play up the lie that IWR gave Bush all the power with NO GUIDELINES.

Did you ever notice that UN gave Bush a resolution, too, and he was in violation of THAT, as well? The IWR and the UN resolutions were not going to stop this war, but they did manage to give BushInc the opportunity it needed through their MEDIA WHORES to distract from Bush's violations of those resolutions by casting the votes as votes supporting war no matter what.
