Uh-hunh. The Constitution also gives Congress, not the President, the power to declare war. It also gives Congress, not the President, the power of appropriations. It designates the President as "Commander in Chief" of the armed forces of the United States, but it says nothing to imply that the President may assume dictatorial powers, abrogate the Constitution, or ignore the will of Congress or the people during war.
You'd think that that might give Congress a voice in what was going on in Iraq and elsewhere American forces are deployed in conflicts.
You'd think so...
Surge = = More American Infidels to terrorize muslims.
It is not the surge that will prevail. It's the fact that we are taking the gloves off.
Someday, someone on the Left will wake up and realize that the whole antiwar/antiwar "movement" has been unwittingly racist. We marched a million troops to confront Hitler's armies for essentially the same threats that Saddam and Bin Laden have presented the U.S. But the French, British, and Germans themselves were never accused of being to culturally limited to ever be expected to want or be able to retain democratic values. The left had better be careful this is not pointed out someday. Leaving 50 million muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan to the likes of Zarqawi (FBOH/RIP), Saddam (FBOH/RIP), ahmedinajihaad (FBOH), nosedroolah (FBOH), etc. would be like shipping railcars and cyanide barrels to the third reich.
This is crazy! You know we should call it a day.
Sound advice, great advice,
Let's throw it away.
