What President Bush ought to do is request Congress vote on articles of war. I think we can depend on Tom Delay to schedule a vote for early October. This would then put pressure on the Senate to vote. Go ahead let the RATS filibuster on Capitol Hill against the use of force instead of campaigning in their home states. Furthermore, there are some Representatives such as John Thune of South Dakota who are Senate canditates. By voting for the use of force against Iraq, the stalling tactics of the RATS can be used by these Republican candidates against their RAT opponents.
