There was Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Likely Rove,
Not Colon Powell. So who else was involved with making this decision

A plethora of advisors, senators, congressmen, officials from the Department of Defense, State, Treasury, Justice, and most other departments of the Federal government.

Wrong again numb nutts, it was Congress and the UN. Congress is the only way to start war w/ another country, they are the only ones that can do it. And the UN pushed for the War after Saddam ignored 27 of their sanctions on Iraq. 'Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, and Rove" had absolutely no authority to make the decision to enter Iraq.

Not just those guys, the guys who make the bullets, tanks, and the Humvee, are all sitting back drawing a big fat check. It was an economic decision. Iraq has oil. Political decision, America has a foot hold in the middle east. To stem iraq from becoming a regional military power. To protect Israel. In the gulf war, iraq was 2 years away form the bomb. If the war was about good and evil, America would be in Africa, helping those poor people. Think about it.

Check out the membership of the Council on Foreign Relations. They have about 3500 members. I believe that there are a few hundred in the top echelons of the Democrat and Republican parties. Quite a few more can be found in upper levels of mainstream media. Some of the corporate executives of major corporations also belong. These are the movers and shakers when it comes to our foreign policy.

I think that congress was deceived along with the rest of us. As a matter of fact , congress wasn't asked "should we go to war with Iraq?". I think it was worded in some other deceptive way. By the way good ole Hillary supported this too.

Please learn how the freakin' government works. YOU LIVE here after all.
The house of representatives have to vote and agree to continue any war. Which includes every senate and congress.
@ - ANDERSON S - Because of casualties? It JUST hit the 3000 mark for US lives a couple months ago. That's the lowest of any war. As a side nice, the reenlistment rate for soldiers is at a all time HIGH.

All of the above and the congress voted on it. No one had the brains to ask what was going to happen to the government there after we removed the president. I just can't believe all these so called smart people and one person didn't think of this.

Those you mentioned made the decision then made up lies and half-lies to convince congress to go along with them. So you people that think congress was part of decsion are dead wrong. They were part of a deception by Bushies lies and deceptions to move Halliburton into Iraq to take over the oil fields.

Look it up and find the signatures of everyone on that act...

99% of us, the senate vote count everyone including you and me , but is after the war everyone backing out, base on casuallty, and the time frame without end. first vote to be majority vote which later read by the wise as democrat coup against the President without the Republican reading meaning into it
