"Shall we believe Bush, who told us intelligence showed conclusively that Chemical Weapons (WMD) were stockpiled by Iraq, while Saddam an Iraqi, told us that Iraq had NO WMD's,"

Personally, I believed Da Rat, who kept telling me, "This is another lie, just like Tonkin Gulf". (Rat was reading reports from the UN inspectors, and all that sort of stuff). I wasn't the only one saying that.


Mr. BYRD. I said for the war in Korea, we did not have a declaration. Mr. Truman put our troops there, and we didn't have a declaration.

Let's go back to the war in Vietnam. I was here. I was one of the Senators who voted for the Gulf of Tonkin resolution. Yes, I voted for the Gulf of Tonkin resolution. I am sorry for that. I am guilty of doing that. I should have been one of the two, or at least I should have made it three, Senators who voted against that Gulf of Tonkin resolution. But I am not wanting to commit that sin twice, and that is exactly what we are doing here. This is another Gulf of Tonkin resolution. I am not going to vote for that this time. No. Don't count me in on that.

Fool me once, call me young, dumb, and patriotic. Fool me twice? Not that time. Maybe now, but not then.
