Bush goes scot-free as Blair bears the brunt: WMDs claim dawn.com <<...The Republican majority in Congress has refused to establish a special commission to investigate the allegations that the administration manipulated intelligence reports to justify the war.

I was in this Chamber urging that we bypass the U.N. and go directly to a coalition of the willing--in this case, the EU and NATO--to gain support for what many of us here strongly believed was in the interest of the United States, the interest of Europe, and in the humanitarian interests of hundreds of thousands of people. We moved. Sounds familiar. Thanks for posting.
