Yeah, so what? Were they wrong? No they were not. They were all for continuing to pressure Saddam, and to take action if and when needed.

Without exception all of the folks you listed knew the importance of building consensus and a coalition. Something that was lost on Bush.

It's one thing to use intelligence to justify keeping the pressure on, it's another when you're using it as a reason to go to war. When you go to war you need actionable evidence. The rhetoric produced by both sides of the aisle was done to simply keep the eyes on Saddam, or to justify no fly zones, or continued efforts to get inspectors in there. Once we got them back in...Bush goes to war.

That's what is goofy.
