It reminds me most of how a schoolyard bully would react. Bully's are by definition cowards with very low self esteem.

No! it was not a cowardly act, although I think yours is a leading question but, it was not very well thought through. Sadaam Hussein was an evil tyrant and provided and looked after his own close "tribal" peoples. Iraq is a conglomerate of tribes within sects and tribes and, have never been united. He was murdering tens of thousands of peoples and we thought we were not only freeing the Iraqis but also establishing a democratic foothold in the Middle East where the "Free Worlds" main oil supplies come from.
It does the war and Bus haters no good to keep saying the United Nations should have handled it. They, the United Nation and the European Nations are the UN and they wanted the Americans to go in and defeat Sadaam and put him out of power while they kept their hands clean. They manipulated us and many American poloticians are trying to do a similar cowardly act now by blaming Bush for the Iraq War.
This is a war that we needed to have and had we all been united it would have been long since over and we would have a great free nation in the Middle East. Instead, at any cost to our brave soldiers the Media, the College Professors and the left wing of the Democratic Party all jumped in to condemn Bush with lame excuses like, we didn't mean this, Bah!

We never had any proof of anything, and even if we did, they did not attack us, have anything to do with terrorist or 9/11! It is against International Law to invade a sovereign nation!
Now the Iraqi's believe they were better off under Saddam Hussein than they are under us!
What have we accomplished except steal Iraqi oil?
And the answer is yes!
Resolutions passed are not a Security Council Resolution to attack Iraq, and they are the only ones who can give the OK to attack anyone. Bush skirted the Security Council and attacked Iraq unilaterally, when he already had proof, when he gave the SOU, he was lying to the American people!

By 'solid proof' one must assume you mean an actual attack.
After 9/11, that was no longer an option.
Mr Bush did what ANY president would have done under the identical circumstances.
The difference is that - had there been a Democrat in office - for the good of the country, the Republicans would have stood by their president and supported him through these tough times.
It is most unfortunate that Democrats are more concerned about their own political victories and seem not to care at all about the well-being of this nation.
Speaking as someone who once was a Democrat, it is a sad time indeed.

Bush & Co. wasn't interested in any proof. They were cooking the books to make it look like they had proof. They wanted to attack Iraq all along. They knew that Saddam didn't have WMD's or even way to protect himself because they said it in early 2001 before 9/11 in many speeched done by Condeleeza Rice And Dick Cheney. they also knew it because Clinton continually bombed Iraq during the 1990's. During that time, the GOP accused him of 'wagging the dog' if you remember that incident. I believe he was, quite frankly. But then Bush & Co. used the victims and incident of 9/11 as an excuse to invade Iraq for the oil.

I think it is funny how everyone uses 9/11 as a reason to invade Iraq. Iraq had nothing to do with it. 9/11 is the reason we went to Afghanistan, not Iraq. If you all are gonna bash this liberal please have your facts straight so you can make a valid point.

NO
Bush just had opening night jitters. Many novice actors are nervous when the curtain comes up and the world is their stage.

17 resolutions, 16 years of bullshit. After 9/11 any possible threat we could find a reason to remove was the right thing to do.
What you and the democrats have done since is cowardly but I don't think it is an act.
