“…the Senate, as an institution, remains remarkably similar to the body created at the Constitutional Convention in 1787. It retains all of its original powers, including providing advice and consent–yes. You said it. You better read that again in the Constitution. It retains all of its original powers, including providing advice and consent to Presidents on nominations and on treaties, serving as a court of impeachment–you better believe it, Mr. President. The Senate can send you home. You better believe that.”

Right now Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) is on C-SPAN, filibustering until the Senate agrees to vote on his amendment which would end all subsidies to the oil industry when oil price is over $55 a barrel.
Since it has been demonstrated that Saddam had no role in 9/11, why do you suppose they are believing this?

I posted it in response to an observation similar to yours.

According to a recent Zogby poll, 90% of U.S. troops fighting in Iraq believe that it is retaliation for Saddam’s role in 9/11.
