I never thought there were. And I think congress was intentionally mislead by fabricated lies to make that vote. The Dem's didn't want to look like pussies on foreign policy either, so they manned up and decided to not use war as a last resort, but as a first resort. I'll never be convinced that Bush wasn't gunning for Saddam from day one of his presidency.
