Forgive me but I am relatively new here at DailyKos but here's something.
There is something that has puzzled me for a long time. Many of us here were against the war before it began. We talked, watched, dug for whatever we could get our hands on, regarding what the real threat or possibilities there were for such a war. It's the fact that many resources out there had it right but almost everyone of our elected officials went along with the administrations'. Only until recently the talk has been on how wrong it has been. So, although I commend the recent actions of the Senate, I am still troubled by why more wasn't done to dispell the rush to war. Why didn't our officials really analyze the situation entirely and come to some other conclusion.
