The Democrats knew what the hell was going on. They had to.

They were just as guilty as the Republicans in getting us into this war. It was a "tag team" effort. The Democrats, and the Republicans initially voted to give the President the authority to invade, and then the President used that authority, and did just that.
BOTH sides of the isle have a part to play in the Iraq War. Now they're just playing politics to cover their own asses, and using the soldiers as pawns.
