If we all "knew" that Saddam had no more WMDs, why did Al Gore, in a speech in Sept. 2002 say "We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country. " http://www.gwu.edu/~action/2004/gore/gore092302sp.html If Bush lied about Saddam, then so did members of Pres. Clinton's administration http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/wmdquotes.asp Maybe the truth is that they are all big fat liars, apparently Scott Ritter, former weapons inspector, seems to think that http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/48729/ To claim that congress didn't authorize Bush to go to war, only gave him the power to do so, please.. everyone "knew" what would happen when they gave him authorization. The members of congress can try to rewrite history all they want, but they did authorize Pres. Bush to go to war, and they are partly responsible for it.

Al Gore was correct as Sadam Hussein had WMDs in the past.

While we can blame the congress for giving Bush authorization to use force (not go to war), we certainly can not blame them for being manipulated by the administration.
