AP: Bush Tries To Revive Support For Iraq War

From the AP:
WASHINGTON - President Bush tried Tuesday to begin reviving U.S. support for the war in Iraq and reinvigorating his troubled presidency as the U.S. military death toll topped 2,000.

Here we are today, 2 1/2 years after the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom; and George Bush still has to drum up support for it. The MSM (and the leftists they speak for), have been salivating, while waiting for the U.S. death toll to reach 2000. But lest we forget, I want to remind everyone who voted for the authorization to use force, in the Senate. (Note-Both House and Senate voted yes overwhelmingly. 2-1 in the Senate and almost 2-1 in the House.)

US Senate Roll Call Vote On Joint Resolution (H.J.Res. 114 )

Some of the names you will see, with a YEA next to their name:

Clinton (D-NY), Daschle (D-SD), Dodd (D-CT), Edwards (D-NC), Feinstein (D-CA), Kerry (D-MA), Landrieu (D-LA), Nelson (D-FL), Reid (D-NV), Schumer (D-NY), Torricelli (D-NJ).

That was October 2002. Today, these people are among the most vocal critics of Iraqi Freedom. So, why is George Bush the only person worthy of blame?

The Senate wants us all to know that their role is to have input into the President's decisions. But when the chips are down, do they really want to share in the responsibility, for the decisions they (and the House) made with him?

But the real questions of the day?

How many of those 2000 U.S. deaths could have been prevented if these people would have stood firm and resolute, in spite of the fact that no large stockpiles of WMDs, have been found? How many would be alive today, if the MSM, groups like MoveOn.Org, and people like Cindy Sheehan would have not spent the last 2 1/2 years trying to politicize a war?

The blood is on their hands.
