You read a great deal into my words that doesn't exist. "Try thinking instead of just parroting what you read off of move on dot com." I didn't read any of this on Moveon.org "The assumption you make that the President didn't take full advantage of ALL information from ALL sources he had at his disposal is an inane Urban Myth and is as fallacious as your argument." The dissent was there in the classified document. He either never heard the dissent or he ignored it. If he never heard it then he didn't read the document himself. Probably to busy taking vacations to Crawford. "To suggest that any President would act on his own when making a decision as important as going to war is a lie purposely foisted on the public." I never said he acted alone. He does have the final say and therefore the buck stops at his desk. Or are you suggesting that it's ok for the President to say, "Don't blame me for going to war on bad intel, everyone else was wrong too." "Its only purpose being to undermine the current administration. Now get off it." This is the only thing you said that is even close. It is my right and my duty as an American citizen to speak out against what I see as a tragic and unnecessary war lest we repeat this mistake in the future. jb
