We will never know what was in those legislators' minds when they voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq, but their claims that W mislead them ring hollow to me. They knew that Saddam was not an imminent threat. I believe that they knew that W was lying, but they were afraid for their post-9/11 political lives and supported him anyway. History with not treat them well, I predict.
