Hanson: "Why did a majority of Democratic senators — such as Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Chris Dodd, John Edwards, Harry Reid, Jay Rockefeller, and Chuck Schumer — vote to authorize a war with Iraq on Oct. 11, 2002? And why is this war now supposedly George Bush’s misfortune and not theirs?"
Short answer: because George Bush is the President.
Long answer: because George Bush asked Congress for the Iraq Resolution, George Bush said at the time that the resolution wasn't actually a vote to go to war, George Bush as Commander-in-Chief made the final decision to go to war, and George Bush as Commander-in-Chief is ultimately responsible for the prosecution of the war.
Does that clear it up?
