Really, the right-wing has no room to say anything on this, they spent so much time defending Bush's actions in Iraq that they're points on this are null and void. Bush obtained permission from Congress on wrong information, which was very illegal. At least be consistent.

Rather or not Bush believed the intelligence or not isn't relevant, it was his responsibility to make sure that the case he laid out was correct and the facts were not there. Ignorance is not a valid excuse.

The action in Libya is hard to define, it's a very black and white area where it can be left up to many persons interpretation. Past interventions have not been given Congressional approval.
