Just as a reference, and partially as a bookmark for me:
- The vote for authorization to use force in Iraq took place on 10-10-02 [roll call]
- The "yes" vote by party: House - Dem 39% GOP 97% Senate - Dem 42% GOP 98% [graphs]
- The Republicans expanded their majority in the House and gained a new majority in the Senate with the Nov 2002 elections [CNN]
I blame Bush for the Iraq War, but I also blame enabling Democrats who didn't have the spines to collectively stop it.
