I'm sure the dims would rather surrender - that's true, but I'm betting on President Bush being able to act unilaterally, without even bothering with the congress or senate.
I believe he, as President of the USA, can pursue any and all actions he feels are necessary when he believes our Nation is faced with a 'Clear and Present Danger', hence, the title of this thread. Any actions taken can then be later discussed in the Congress and Senate for any wrongdoing, but, the job would be done!
What-the-hell, klintoon bombed the crap out of 'whatever Yugoslavia and some surrounding Countries are called', just to get his 'Impeachment' off the front page! he never asked anyones' permission, nor did he suffer any consequences.
Regardless of what the USA may have become politically after last November 7th, the islamofacist Global Threat is real, and IMHO, it's best to deal with it now, in 1938, when it can be defeated, instead of waiting until 1939, when the bombs start dropping.
In any event, stay well armed and safe, my friend. You and Quentin can always bunk at 'Firebase Gonzo'!.................FRegards
But I think its got to happen before the ISG, Iraq Study Slaughter Group get its steamroller going in conjuction with Democrat appeasers.
That means, its got to happen in the next month to six weeks. We live in "interesting" times.
