In vino veritas?

That's an old saying above, in wine there is truth, and perhaps President Nippy McDrinky had a belt or two before his Vet's Day speech. Or maybe it was a














In his little hissy fit, President Otis from Mayberry gave us this juicy tidbit:

"When I made the decision to remove Saddam Hussein from power, Congress approved it with strong bipartisan support." Then after pathetically dredging up John Kerry, he adds that more than a hundred Democrats in the House and the Senate, who had access to the same intelligence, voted to support removing Saddam Hussein from power.

George, you seem to be the one re-writing history. You meant to say "disarm" Saddam Hussein, didn't you? Not remove him from power, but "disarm" him?

Here is what Congress voted for:

"The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to

(1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and
(2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq."

I don't see a Subsection 3, stating that "
The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to effect regime change in Iraq" or Subsection 4, "The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to get the United States into one massive Mesopotamian clusterf**k that will screw several generations of pooches."

Just in case you've forgotten, George, in your Lone Star-induced haze, you and your team of neocon warbots wanted to remove Hussein from power to bring forth some apocalyptic re-engineering of the Middle East and to show off your manhood to your poppy, but you told us you wanted to DISARM him, remember?

No, you probably don't.
