I didn't bring up the Iraq War, Matty did and I was responding to him.
To your points: on Iraq, hindsight is 20/20. The Iraq War resolution was bi-partisan and the intel that was used as a basis to move forward with the war came from a Clinton hold-over. Bush's biggest mistake was keeping any Clintonites around.
Please give me one example of the Patriot Act being used to falsely imprison or prosecute an American citizen.
Protecting U.S. citizens from terrorist attack is far more important than this particular health reform bill.
