Five years ago today, the Senate voted in the dead of night to authorize the use of military force in Iraq by a vote of 77-23.
Bush heralded the vote, stating, “America speaks with one voice.” Contending that the authorization was a “blank check,”
Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WV) warned, “This is the Tonkin Gulf resolution all over again. Let us stop, look and listen.
Let us not give this president or any president unchecked power. Remember the Constitution.”
Here are the 23 Senators who courageously voted no:
Akaka (D-HI)

Bingaman (D-NM)

Byrd (D-WV)
Chafee (R-RI)

These courageous people saw through the lies. Saw through the bullshit. Saw bush for what he really is.
A fucking hypocrite Christian that loves war.
Remember his quote. "There is no profit in peace."
Fuck you mr. president. You are a traitor to America.

This is where Barack Obama wins. Even though he wasn't in the US Senate yet he was very vocal against the authorization to bankrupt America.
Hillary's explanation sounds as weak as the republicans. At least John Edwards has apologized for being stupid.
