Boxer vs. Rice

Condoleezza Rice clashed with Senator Boxer among others during her confirmation process.
"You sent them in there because of weapons of mass destruction. Later the mission changed when there were none," Boxer told Rice. "Let's not rewrite history, it's too soon to do that."
Isn't it neat how Senator Boxer casually throws out the us and them card - I don't care how you voted on the resolution, the United States of America sent troops to Iraq and you mama are part of it - if not be my guest, please leave!
"It wasn't just weapons of mass destruction," Rice told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, saying former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein supported terrorism, attacked Kuwait and Israel and needed to be removed given the new U.S. threat perception after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.
Well finally, we get this out in public again - that there were more reasons then WMD(s), or a better way to put it WMD(s) were not the only reason given to Congress for their consideration. I really believe the Democrats have forgotten it and the Media sure hasn't help anyone to remember.
