Were the republican presidential candidates educated in making their decision to support the war in Iraq?

MANCHESTER, N.H. - Sens. John McCain (news, bio, voting record) of Arizona and Sam Brownback (news, bio, voting record) of Kansas both admitted Tuesday night they voted to authorize the U.S. military invasion of Iraq without reading the formal National Intelligence Estimate in advance.

1. Which was twisted intel anyway. Of course not!
2. Most Liberals, including Clinton, admit to not reading it.......Most just got on the war bandwagon and voted their emotions at the time, or what was the popular vote at the moment. Scary, isn't it?
3. Well Clinton started the war in Irag, had all documents to prove why Irag should be invaded, plus a lot of democrats stood behind him, that all Clinton said was true. So, either there was a need to go to Iraq or the Clintons and some choice democrats set Bush up, and the Clintons are very well know for this type thing. As for as them not readying the formal National Intelligence Estimate in advance, that is like signing a contract without reading the fine print, kind of dumb on their part. I think that is their excuse anyway.
