AS can't get over the fact that the majority of both parties thought Saddam was a threat...

What the Congress voted for is for the President to go after and get Osama. They empowered the Prez to fight terror. They left the details to him. It was he and his folks who decided that Saddam was the target to go after "instead of Osama." There is no reason given by Bush to this day why he did not send in 150,000 troops to get Osama first especially since the "no-fly zone" restrictions were holding and were effective in containing Saddam. The international inspectors were the ones on the ground and they reported that they did not find any WMDs. But Bush deliberately ignored that finding and unilaterally decided to send in the 150,000 military folks into Iraq. Let us also not forget that Turkey, a NATO ally and a non-Muslim country refused to toe Bush's line. That should say something about Bush's policy failure on the war against terrorism.

Did he have sinister motives for going into Iraq? Well, to a bystander like you and me we say yes. Unless you have some inside info. I don't.
