They sweated us invading Cambodia in 1970. Even limited, it was long overdue.

Since insurgents and weaponry are already crossing the borders of Syria and Iran into Iraq, aren't they sort of already spilling over into Iraq?

"If the president concluded he had to invade Iran ... or Syria in pursuit of these networks, I believe the present authorization granted the president to use force in Iraq does not cover that and he does need congressional authority to do that," said Biden.

This is bull. We are in a war, and our troops are being attacked from Syria and Iran. It is well within the president's scope of authority to prosecute the war as necessary to destroy the enemy.

President Bush is the Commander-in-Chief, not Congress, and he has constitutional authority to manage the war.

Congress does have a constitutional remedy, if they believe that he is recklessly endangering the country: They can remove him from office. Go ahead and impeach him.

If they don't have the balls to try it, stay the hell out of the way.

My position: Iran and Syria should have had regime change years ago.
