"Please stop lying about what I have very clearly stated, ProSense. "

You're accusing me of "lying" because you responded to my point about the aftermath of the IWR vote by stating that you're focusing on Reid's vote?

Here's what I said:

I was never one who believed that Bush/Cheney should get a pass. I don't blame everyone who voted for the IWR (some of them would have followed the same path, some would have been a hell of a lot more responsible) for the Bush launching the war.

Does anyone believe that with the information coming out after the IWR vote, any other President/VP would have, like the Bush administration, simply ignored the fact that they could be wrong and introduce new lies to rush to invade Iraq?

<...>

Is there a more blatant example of callousness and manipulativeness than the depravity of launching an invasion based on your own lie?

<...>

Had these warmongers listened to Kennedy, even Hagel, an waited a few months, the lies would have been destroyed.

Bush/Cheney weren't interested in the truth. They propagated the lies.


You responded: "Yes, they propagated the lies. And whether he believed those lies or not, Reid voted for war."

You used the term "propagated," which I used to stress the lies after the vote, to claim that "whether he believed those lies or not, Reid voted for war."

What do the lies after the vote have to do with Reid's IWR vote?

"No, I'm putting the emphasis on Reid for his IWR vote"

I know, and you're doing it in a thread about his smack down of Cheney.
