- throwaway_4ever 5y agoGP was talking about Iraq. That resolution is 3 days after 9/11 pointed "against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States." So not Iraq. Actually relevant is a year later the vote about Iraq, in which a majority, 157/267, of U.S. Democrat Representatives and Senators were opposed. Left up to the decision of Democrats, there would be no Iraq war. I don't know how people vote Republican just 20 years later. That is lost on most people. I would know, I grew up in a rah rah Bush household. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Military_Force_Against_Iraq_Resolution_of_2002#passage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_for_Use_of_Milit...
- mensetmanusman 5y agoGood catch, sorry about that. Looks like it was only ~40% of democrats in the house that voted to go to Iraq.
