Obama's War, the gift that keeps on giving.
Obama, the awesome, never went to congress.
George Bush went to congress. He got a respultion passed twice.
It passed the 1st time and then Nancy Pelousy demanded a re-vote, so she and the Dims could hop onto the train as it was pulling out of the station.
Pro-tip: When you lose a war and sign an armistice, you should not be hyperbolic and blustery talk. Also, and this is key, you should live up to the terms of the armistice.

It is not fun watching NBC showing film (1998)of inspectors trying to inspect a building for WMDs and being denied for 2 or 3 days. Such a delay takes the "suprise" out of suprise inspection
Complainers of the inspections can still back their boy, Scott "I like young babes" Ritter, to the hilt.
