What I know is that Congress abdicated its Constitutional duties, either out of deference to the Commander-In-Chief or out of simple cowardice.
If Bush was running the White House inappropriately, the duty fell upon the Congress to apply appropriate correction.
That no such correction was applied means that Congress gave tacit approval (whether appropriate to give or no) to Bush's command decisions in the Oval Office. For Congress to now revisit those decisions and impute criminality to them is a level of hypocrisy rare even for Democrats.
Try as I might, I have to say I totally agree with all but, that last partisan shot. And I'll give you that one.
Congress gave Bush a blank check with Iraq and it was downhill from there.
I have reason to believe Obama is going to lance that Bush boil and restore honor to our country and reputation. I know you don't believe that but, maybe you can give him a little rope. If he uses that rope to hang himself... so be it.
