So it may have taken Ravenman four years to spit a hokker on the AUMF vote that restrained Bush in as much restraint that Bush was going to be restrained.

But this stooge just keeps on giving… including giving GWBush and his illigetimate, unjustified, amoral and deplorable invasion THE BENEFIT of the DOUBT.

Ravenman and Mace deserve each other.

> The US is invading Iraq because our gov’t believes it is necessary for the defense of this country. You may disagree with that, as the UN has done. **I’m giving the administration the benefit of the doubt myself on that one.** But since the UN has shown that it’s interests are NOT the same as the US’s in Iraq, why should we get them involved in the “rebuilding” effort? The rebuilding is as important, if not more so, than the toppling of S.H.

Man what an anti-UN, Bush butt kissin’ stooge this forum had back in 2003 in the one the only John (Hussein didn’t cooperate) Mace.  
When Bush forced the inspectors to leave Iraq there was nothing that could be claimed ‘as necessary’ for the defense of our country that involved starting a full scale war.  
When Iraq had zero inspectors inside Iraq during the AUMF vote - at least some could argue that Iraq posed a considerable threat and was violating international law. But when inspectors were there and finding nothing and Iraq began to cooperate even proactively.  
It appears that according to Mace now… he had everything ass-backwards with regard to Iraq being a threat.
