<<great power should in pursuing its interests>>
or
What Congress heard

If Mr. Bush had stated that the US was pursuing its own self interest as a <<great power should>> in Iraq then Congress may have acted differently. I do not believe that is what Mr. Bush said.
You forgot the word self as well, the interests of the United States in Iraq do not include countries like Russia, China, France, Germany or groups like NATO and the UN, and lest we forget Canada. The issue of wether the average American wants to die in the service of <<great power>> <<pursuing its interests>> was never decided by Congress, I <<should>> be mistaken.

If the current administration felt justified in attacking Iraq, why were they shooting at George.
