I agree with all of this.

I do like how you're trying to pin the decision to go to war in Iraq on 535 people instead of just one. When they voted, I wasn't 100% sure we were definitely going to invade. But the passage of time changes peoples' memory, and now it seems like it was always inevitable.

That's not what I'm doing at all. I am just arguing that Bush did not exceed his authority and that Kerry, by parsing as he has, has been doing it for political reasons.
