Have these people got absolutely no spine? Bill Clinton said on Larry King that the dems didnt give Bush authorization to go to war because what they signed stated he had to pursue all avenues of diplomacy first and he didnt so actually Hillary didnt vote for the war. Is there absolutely no limits to what these scumballs will do to regain power?

What he said was true, but I doubt you even understand what happened in the first place, because Limbaugh told you otherwise. Let me clarify, they authorized use of force IF ALL avenues of diplomacy failed...they did not authorize "war", per se. And, Bush did not exercise all avenues of diplomacy by any means...not that you care. You seem the type who feels that "the decider" could do no wrong.

Like it or not, he's technically correct. Look up the resolution, it states that the President was to exhaust all diplomatic avenues before taking military action. He did not do so, he did not even give it the old college try. He abused the power he was given, and by now, most members of Congress and the majority of the American people are very aware of it. Sorry, but I don't consider the truth as being a scumball thing to put out there. It's sure better than saying "I don't recall" over 70 times to try and cover up corruption. It's a hell of a lot better than Dick Cheney still pushing the b.s. that Iraq had something to do with 9/11 on the same day, no less, that a report came out of White House confirming once and for all there was no connection. It's that whole people in glass houses thing ya know?

That is pretty much true.
The ringer is pursue all avenues of diplomacy ie: Allowing weapons inspectors to complete their task.
It is in the congressional resolution.
As far as I'm concerned she voted for the war, once the resolution was passed the president could have done what he wanted regardless of whether it was honored in the true spirit of the resolution or not.
Does it matter, the president and vice president have said knowing everything we now know, they would have still taken the same course towards Iraq so doesn't make much difference who thought they knew what, war with Iraq was obviously the strategy...maybe it was "Peak Oil" there isn't a straight answer to be found from anyone.

Hillary has said countless times she supported the war BASED UPON the intelligence that was presented to the Congress by the Secretaries of State and Defense, Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld. The so-called war powers approval gave the administration use of military powers as a "last resort". She has admitted mistakes, but based upon the testimonies of those department secretaries during pre-war hearings. The most important issue is she has learned from her mistake, admitted it, unlike a certain sitting President and Vice-President. Their arrogance is frightening.

He's not lying though. When they signed the ok it said that Bush MUST go through all avenues of diplomacy. He didn't even try. As soon as that paper was signed Bush said I declare war. Thats why everyone was like what WHY??
So the Clintons aren't lying...this time

Does this surprise you, Bill Clinton telling lies on national television? Wait, he's use to this is he not? Democrats are famous for rewriting history, this time they will not get away with it (thanks youtube). And for you idiots posting more lies watch the hypocrite liars in action, Please watch entire video before reply.
See the Democrat lies in their own words. I wonder why no media has jumped on the liars. At least Kerry admitted voting for the war before voting against it.
So Sayeth the Impaler!

Get over it.
Bush lied to the congress, he lied to the world and he lied to us.
Prove once and for all that there are real weapons of mass distruction and a no holds barred link between Iraq and BinLaden, then put the proof on the table.
Given the insistance of his lies, echoed by every member of his administration, he left no room for opposition.
Any vote made to support Bush is based on lies. Therefor, it would be immoral to continue to support such a vote.
