Just STOP with this tired attack line.

Joe did NOT order the attack on Iraq, Bush did.

Joe didn't plan the military strategy, Bush did.

If Joe had been president at the time, he would NOT have attacked Iraq.

Joe's vote was NOT the tie breaker..
Joe's NOT responsible, Bush is.
It did NOT matter how that Iraq Authorization vote would have turned out.. Bush was going to attack Iraq with it or without it.

Bush had lawyers already giving him cover to do what he wanted.

Bush was set to attack Iraq NO matter what.

Bush's lawyer at the DOJ, was busy writing memos, allowing Bush any authority he wanted.

This was how Bush was covering his ass.

Bush would have gone to Iraq, NO MATTER what.
Bush didn't need that vote.. it was ALL for show.

That is why that war is on Bush and ONLY Bush.

I supported yes votes on that authorization at the time, cuz I supported MORE weapons inspectors.

I did NOT support attacking Iraq.

Bush was attacking Iraq, NO matter what!
Hillary or Joe being blamed for Bush's actions is just ridiculous and it re-writing history to HELP Bush and HURT the Democratic Party.. it needs to STOP.

Hillary explained what she was voting for, NOBODY listened.

Bernie literally had NO skin in the game in 2002, he was in a TINY hippie state of Vermont... and, he was NOT in NY, Hillary was.

His vote either way, was NOT going to kill his career.

People often forget, the polls at the time showed overwhelming support for the Iraq War.
But, again, it does NOT matter.. Bush was going to attack Iraq, no matter what.

If Joe Biden had been President, or Al Gore, or John Kerry, or Hillary Clinton.. we would NOT have attacked Iraq.

Joe even TRIED to pass a bill, requiring Bush to PROVE his case, before going to war
Biden and Hillary both felt pretty much the same... they wanted to be leaning in, finding out if Iraq did have WMD's.. and, also trying to restrain Bush.

at the time.. they didn't know of the memos that John Hoo had written, giving Bush cover to attack Iraq without authorization
WE have to stop allowing an Independent to paint the Democrats with the same brush that Bush is painted with... it's NOT only unfair... it's totally dishonest and it needs to STOP!

Bush was attacking Iraq with or without that vote, his mind was made up.
