Old News?
Everyone knows that this war is stinking and criminal , and has known for years... so why is this newsworthy? Because it’s the first material evidence that diplomacy was NEVER an option. That Bush lied to Congress, that intelligence was fabricated to fit the policy, that the deal between the US and the UK to go to war was struck in April 2002, and there was going to be nothing to stop it.
Although Blair wanted desparately to get that second resolution to 1441 from the Security Council just to "make it legal," he took his country to war, knowing it violated international law. Even moreso, the US and UK were so determined to go to war, although they knew it was illegal and unwarranted, they would even create the conditions of war by using UN weapons inspectors to provoke Hussein .
Why Doesn’t Congress DO Something?
Imagine You Are A Member of Congress. Now, pretend you are a Republican. OK, a moderate Republican. And you read this, from a British news source:
"...The invasion’s legality may not be such a big deal for Americans since Bush got his administration and the US military virtually off the hook by opting out of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, and bribing and bamboozling smaller countries to sign up to bilateral agreements—whereby Americans would not be prosecuted for war crimes. Further, Congress was persuaded to give the President special powers...." — Linda Heard, British specialist writer on the Middle East, writing from Cairo, May 3, 2005
The special powers that Congress was persuaded to give President Bush was the power of Congress itself!! To make informed decisions based on REAL intelligens, to declare war, to decide the treatment of captives... Only Congress can do this.
I guarantee you, there is no one more angry and insulted by the revelations in these leaked documents than Congress and the House of Representatives, and that goes for BOTH Democrats and Republicans.
