My eyes zeroed in on that phrase right away.
It's really not a hard concept to wrap your arms around.
What part of Comander in Cheif do you need explained to you? Perhaps it is the "authorization of force" or the "violation of 1991 Gulf War Armeistence" that so confuses the psuedo Conservatives. But that's right, don't bother you with facts, you are too busy being paranoid about your own Goverment to deal with reality right?
False assumption on your part not backed up by facts. There is NOTHING in the Constitution that describes how the Congress "Declares War". You contention that Congress did NOT authorize the use of force in Iraq is so childishly absurd as to indicate you are NOT interested in serious discussion of the facts. You may wander back to DU now. No one will take your absurd inability to grasp the fundamental legal lines of authority on Iraq seriously here.
If the rumors are true, Bush thinks that the Constitution is "just a g-dd----- piece of paper."
I did a search and I couldn't find any proof that the president said this
While congress issued The "Use of force", it did not authorise "War". This is what gets the libs in their panties. Without a declaration of war we do not have to follow the Geneva Conventions, which we are anyways.
I get sick of this....Ask anyone in America now why we went to "War" and see if they mention U.N. Resolution 1441?
"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong," Bush said. "As president, I'm responsible for the decision to go into Iraq."
Associate Press is biased against the president. They're twisting the president's words.
how much of any public 'acknowledgement' or 'admission' will the LL use against Bush toward an impeachment? seems that is their agenda/goal.
An authorization for the use of force is a de facto declaration of war. The US Constitution is silent on themethods of declaring war. Congress could just as easily issue a one sentence statement, to wit, "Kick Iraq's collective ass." and that would be a declaration of war as well.
I get sick of this....Ask anyone in America now why we went to "War" and see if they mention U.N. Resolution 1441?
Hey, I get sick of people reading anything they want into the constitution. Why don't you read me the prescribed methods for "declaring war" in that document?
"Victory is not a strategy." - Congressman Jack Murtha, (D-PA).
"The original means of strategy is victory--that is tactical success--it's ends, in the final analysis, are those objects which will lead directly to peace." - Karl von Clauswitz, On War, 1832.
"Victory alone is not everything but is it not, after all, what really counts?" - Karl von Clauswitz, On War, 1832.

500 tons of uranium, 1.7 tons of enricjed uranium, illegal weapons programs all controlled by a state with torture rooms, rape rooms, condonning people fed alive into plastic shredders feet first. Taking Saddam out was the right thing to do. The Iraq War has been great success and continues to be successful.
All the attacks on the Bush Administration could prove terrible beyond belief if it causes too much delay with dealing with Iran,North Korea, or Syria (where Russian trucks took many of the WMD components and weapons they were illegally selling Iraq), think about it.
Apparently in the mind of Mr. Feingold this is an achievement which is unattainable unless politics dictates that the Democratic party is in full majority.
Perhaps a swift slap to the face would wake him up to reality?
Anyone in WI game for helping him in his endeavors?
NO! Clinton's legacy is the President of the United States trying to fix a court case and in the process denying an American citizen her day in court, Justice. Damn the blue dress!
And STILL who gets the MSM praise for effective federal governing?
I think you lost me Sir on that whole nation building thing... You really blindsided me with that one...can I ask that when we wax Iran that we do not undertake another Nation Building exercise. .i.e. no American tax payer funding, lives, mindshare etc? Tired of paying people that hate us and want us killed..Its kind of an insult right?
