[Demidog] In other words, you like it when the President ignores the constitution. This site is alleged to be for the restoration of the constitution. What the hell are you doing here?
Since you are so well versed in the constitution, you well know that the founders designed that (the ultimate control of the military) as a fire wall, not a day-to-day management technique. If really needed, the Congress can cut off the money to the military. They would then suffer the consequences, if any were deemed necessary by the voters.
The mouthings coming from Daschle (currently) are clearly for short term political advantage, and most voters see it for what it is.
Do you really think we have more than a handful in congress that have the b@lls required to cut off the money, even if it were needed? I'll bet this current crop would follow the polls and vote to save themselves rather than the vision of the founders. So you can give your "congress should run the military" wacko-idea a rest.
No, but so what? Since when has doing the right thing been dependent upon what's popular?
