Can we buy them 4 more Jumbo jets and a vacation to Libya ?
The Dems are too Dim to understand what is at stake in Iraq. So, let’s follow the Dims and get out of Iraq.
This adds up to millions of dollars of oil revenue going into terrorists coffers - secret bank accounts, and perks for Iran,
the progenitor of the terrorists.
More... Byrd about to go on Senate floor and argue for bill to “nullify authorization of force in Iraq.” Clinton is now waffling (Surprise!) and saying she “may not” sign on to this (what a tower of jello she is) ... pressure from Moveon is said to be pushing congressional Dems off the cliff...
Please post a link- I’ve scoured the CNN site and find nothing about it..
We NEVER declared war. The President only got authorization to use military force. Bif Difference.
So....they’re finally admitting they actually did declare war.
Vietnam was a much more costly war and faced enormously greater opposition, but Nixon fought his opponents every day and the public backed him.
The modern day republicans haven't stared down the dems' leftism for decades and there is no sign they are going to start now.
Byrd on CSPAN-2 now... Senate looks empty and Byrd sounds drunk... rambling... incoherent... you need to see and hear this for yourself.
They talk big. Let’s see how they vote.
Why not? That strategy worked so well for Kerry.
Let's see them try. Matter of fact ... why don't they just vote for censure and be done with it?
They’re responding totally to their loony fringe. Doing that doesn’t really show moderates or other potential voters that they should be voted for in 2008.
Brings to mind the homos and the unchurchec. Are the democRATS ALL queers?
Isn’t the current war in Iraq a result of a broken cease-fire agreement from Gulf war I...technically?
I forget, what is wrong with winning the war on terror?
Their antics are encouraging moslem terrorists in every part of the world-including North America and Europe. We know that’s true because we’ve posted-to here, LGF, JW, probably many other sites-articles and editorials from moslem media sites , crowing over the “defeat” of the USA. What does that mean? Not only are more terrorist acts recognized as such likely, but many “lesser” acts of violence that make life in the west that much more hellish. e.g., There may be a girl-perhaps several girls-somewhere in a major EUropean city who will be gang raped and slashed because of triumphalist emotions evoked in an “immigrant” reader by those articles from the moslem media-articles directly inspired by the acts of these traitor scum.
Technically, Congress did not declare war in 2002.
They simply passed legislation (Public Law 102-1) that gave the President the authority to declare war. In essence, they ceeded this Constitutional power to the President
The difference is subtle, but important:
- Congress does not have any authority to determine how a war should be conducted, including surrender. Even if Congress had been successful in passing a timetable, the President would have a sound Constitutional challenge.
- The President can veto any Bill, Order, Resolution, or Vote from Congress. He cannot veto a Declaration (but that didn’t happen). This legislation can include this transfer of authority - or its removal.
Since Congress didn’t bother to Declare War they can’t very well Undeclare War. De-authorize would imply they have authority, but they can only provide funding. Or not.
Making up the rules as they go. Any presidence for this?
