you that they are truth can you be faulted for acting accordingly?
Bush tweaked the intelligence on Iraq to suit his purposes. He handed congress a pack of lies and they acted accordingly.

First of all Bush didn't "tweak" anything. If he did, he'd be impeached already. Secondly, most of our senators (both Dem and Rep) didn't read that stuff anyway.
Grow up. Most of that intelligence was good then and is still good today.

Most of them didn't even read the report in the first place, so that point doesn't matter.
Even if they did, is there no personal responsibility? Shouldn't they look in to it as well?
They all wanted to go into Iraq, just face it. They did, the problem is that they are allowed to have their opinions now, but at least face the fact that they have changed their mind. Don't act like the original vote never happened.
All this is predicated on your SPECULATION that Bush "tweaked the intelligence". Pure speculation and opinion.

Then why did the Congress authorize force? If Congress and the Senate were no so chicken maybe questions would have been raised. Fire Congress before going after Bush. They authorized the use of force, if they did not, no invasion or Bush would have had to do something to start a war which means he would have lost in 2004. Get off Bush and get on you useless Representatives. I voted against them all last time and intend to again.

As I have clearly noted in answers to other similar questions, the answer to that question is "no". If someone presents you information, attests to its credibility, and you have no reason to doubt the authenticity of the information then you are not to blame for acting on it or presenting it as true.
The fault would be at the feet of the people or agency not giving you truly accurate information.

That's funny since they had the info long before he was elected, not to mention THE REST OF THE WORLD HAD INTELLIGENCE TO THE SAME EFFECT! Hillary has already admitted she DIDN'T EVEN READ IT...so how was SHE misled?

Yeah, this is what we got for trusting George Bush. We got screwed over. With his supporters now telling us we are just as much to blame for being stupid enough to trust a man that they still say can be trusted.

How do you know that, and where is the outrage from Congress?
That would be grounds for impeachment and you and I know darned well that they would use it in a heartbeat. :)
