It’s funny, first people try to claim that Joint Resolution 23 gave Bush the power to send troops anywhere he wants, including Iran or Iraq. Then they claim he fabricated all this evidence to go to war with Iraq so he could get Congressional approval. If JR 23, which was authorized just after 9/11, gave him power to invade anyone he wants why would he go through all the effort to fabricate evidence against Iraq?
As with most conspiracies it only works if you hand pick your “evidence” and ignore the mountains of evidence that is to the contrary of your theory.
This is just more sabre rattling in response to Iran playing chicken with one of our destroyers last month.
