I never knew he was that kind of activist! Intesting points, Johnny Cougar It is good to see an activist caring more about the American service people and their families than the foreigners for once.

These are just a couple of links that show what some prominent Dems have said in the past. Of course, Clinton's view of force meant lobbing a few cruise missiles. However, it is clear that voices have been pretty bipartisan when it comes to Iraq as a threat. It is not like Bush just thought one day "Hey, what about Iraq." Note the sources are reputable news sources, not from some random blog. All I am saying is, we can't just suffer from some political amnesia here and forget that Bush built his case on information that has been pretty widely accepted.

The Majority of Democrats in the US Senate voted to support Bush's policy on Iraq. Unilateral means only one. At no point in this conflict has the USA been the only country involved in the war, so we should stop using "unilateral" as a way of describing US action because it is incorrect. The USA, United Kingdom and Australia all used military forces in operation Iraqi Freedom and now nearly 30 countries have military forces on the ground in Iraq.
