Yes. I am so tired of hearing "98 senators" and "Democrats voted for war too" argument.  Even Powell, who was INSIDE the administration, was fooled. The Energy Dept. was gagged during the vote for the war, so the "aluminum tubes" lie could circulate uncontested.

Just the yellowcake lie alone--first the Italian secret service determined it was fake, then the CIA office in Rome. But Berlusconi sent it by courier to Cheney, who kept it in play. Congress knew NOTHING of this at the time.

All this pales before Benghazi of course--the greatest foreign policy disaster of US history if you watch Fox News.
