When the Congress supported Bush's war of aggression into

- perhaps it caught them off guard).

I see from some subsequent postings that, when it came to the crunch, more
Congressmen/women than one opposed the war but all I saw (and that was
allowed to escape) was a very strong denunciation of Congress by one man
who was deploring the fact that no one was speaking out against the war. I
guess i was wrong but would be interested to know actually how many opposed
and how many spoke out strongly.
