If authorization for going to war was based on false information, the blame is not on the ones that voted, but on those that provided the "information" on which it was based.

dts--i went and found one of the last playboy issues to come out, in which they interviewed arianna huffington...bear with my typing, it will no doubt have typos as i have to peck this out...
huffington:although it goes without saying that we can be legitimately outraged at the administration that took us to war--that i blame the president goes without saying--i'm equally ourtaged at the democratic leadership for allowing the president to take us to war...
playboy:...was there any reason for you to think the opposition would oppose, at least at the time?
huffington: yes, because it was a matter of going to war. and remember, we were actually in the majority in the senate in 2002, if only for a moment. you can forgive politicians for going along on umimortant issues, but to allown an adminstration to take us into an unnecessary war? nothing is more immoral.
playboy: but who in congress knew it was unnecessary? ti took years for accustaion that the administration manipulated and ignored intelligence to surface.
